General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Prosper Harrison Addo has explained why he is optimistic about Black Stars’ chances of winning next year’s AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire.
The Black Stars are one match away from securing qualification to play at the 2023 AFCON.
Chris Hughton side must avoid defeat at home to Central Africa Republic in the next round of qualifiers in September to seal the ticket.
The four-time AFCON winners top Group E with one-point advantage over Angola.
According to Addo, the weather in Ivory Coast will favour the Black Stars to emerge champions.

“The weather and everything [in Ivory Coast] suits us, so we’re hoping to qualify and go and win the cup,” Addo said in an interview with Asempa FM.
The last time the Black Stars were crowned African champions was at the 1982 edition in Libya.
Since the 1982 edition, the Black Stars have finished runners-up in 1992, 2010 and 2015.

U have not yet qualified and you are here talking of winning afcon. Funny people.. Na so u struggle to draw ordinary Madagascar una go take win the cup??
That is ghana for you, since 1982 ghana won afcons. They were optimistic for the past 41 years. They respect not any other teams in Africa.
Mr. Addo was also optimistic Ghana would win the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
With that near expired and old Black stars players how does this dude think, BS can win AFCON just bevause of weather factor which other west African countries also have.There is so much to fight for and many African countries are now parading very hungry young and talented players which is a huge and primaryadvantage.Somebody should remind this guy that AFCON no be beans o
Another tactics to deceive the good Ghanaian people and the corrupt government to hang on to the position of the FA Secretary.
The BS can do better but not with these old and tired legs.
Coming out from the people that are struggling to qualify….
Just pray Comoros don’t qualify.
Not only the 2023 Afcon but the fifa 2026 World Cup too. Continue to give yourself false up. Instead of talking about how they will manage to qualify, he is here talking about winning the 2023 afcon. This man is a comedian,I laugh
Very funny, if the weather can suit ur team then what of the country that is hosting the tournament? Funny comedian
This guy is very funny , keep under rating the determination of CAR and they will come and disgrace you in your backyard and qualify!!.. You have forgotten that CAR beat our Super Eagles in Abuja during the world cup qualifiers, which is one of the reasons Rohr was sacked , so you are not yet qualified. If CAR beat you and Angola beat Madagascar, then CAR and Angola will qualify leave Black Start stranded, so concentrate on qualifications first before thinking of how to win AFCON!!
