It’s been 41 years since Ghana won the African Cup of Nations.
The four times African Champions have tried on several occasions in other to end the drought of without winning the AFCON, with 2015 being the closest they got to the trophy which they eventually lost to Ivory Coast on penalties, however, Ghana has the chance to fight again for the prestigious African trophy in Ivory Coast 2024.
Former Black Stars Captain Stephen Appiah believes one way Ghana can end the drought is by engaging former winners on how they were able to achieve that.
In an interview with Joy Prime, Appiah made this suggestion to the Ghana Football Association.
“Former players, when you speak to them, you can get something from them,” he said.
“They are experienced so when you ask them about certain opinions; for instance Mohammad Polo, Abedi Pele, Abdul Razak, and the rest they have won the African Cup before, so you can speak to them to advice you,”
“I’m not talking about myself because have done it before we came so when I talk, I don’t speak about Stephen Appiah, trust me, I’ve never talked about myself never because I think that there are people who came before us, there are people who won trophies as I mentioned, Abedi Pele and the rest,”
“Since 2008, we have been to the semi-finals and finals consistently. In 2015, against Cote d’Ivoire, we had the chance to win it after they missed their first two penalty kicks, but we couldn’t grab the cup,”
“So I think the GFA can invite certain former players and ask them ‘what did they do to win the trophy during their time and they will give you ideas, you can take it or not,”
