Former Vice President of Ghana football Association George Afriyie has insisted Ghana can win the upcoming AFCON in Egypt despite admitting the lack of form our various players.

The former second most powerful person in Ghana football believes the current form of Ghanaian players abroad is a huge worry but with the right mentality, Ghana can end the 37 years trophy drought.

“It’s true if you want to do careful assessment player by player and compare their current form to three years ago.

“You can’t say Asamoah Gyan of three years ago is the same Asamoah Gyan of today, the same way you will say Andre Ayew of 2016 is not the same Andre Ayew of today,” he told Oman FM.

“But the truth is also that, we have had countries who have won the AFCON with players who were less recognized in Africa and the club they were playing. Typical example is the Cameron team that recently won the AFCON 2017 in Gabon,” he noted.

“Their top players revolted and it triggered the coach to dropped nine senior players. But yet he was still able to win the Cup.

George Afriyie also insisted Ghana have no excuse to give ahead of the showdown in Egypt.

“I don’t want us to say our players are out of form currently so we can’t win.

“In AFCON, your preparations, the approach, the eagerness and the seriousness and the way players look hungrier to achieve for the nation makes you win the cup.

“Another example is the Zambian team that won the trophy and and Nigerian team under Stephen Keshie.

“I don’t want us to rule ourselves out. We can still win the AFCON is possible and it’s achievable target,” he added.

Ghana will be making the 8th consecutive appearance at the AFCON since 2006 as one of the most consistent AFCON teams.
