A very tough group since i don’t known much about the oppositions aside Egypt – Black Stars Coach

The head coach of the Black Stars Chris Hughton has expressed his opinion on the three countries Ghana will face in the upcoming AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire next year.

Speaking after the draw in Cote D’Ivoire – Abidjan, Coach Chris Hughton revealed that he doesn’t have more information about the opponents in the group except old foe Egypt but will do their homework before the start of the competition .

“Egypt are a very experienced side, very experienced AFCON campaigners and I think they have more wins than any other country. For sure, they are very tough opposition, But of course, it is a competition and we are very much looking forward to playing against certainly one of the best teams on the African continent at this particular moment. And of course, Mozambique and Cape Verde, are two teams that I don’t know so much about. However, we will do all of our homework, over these coming months, watch their games from now, and before the tournament starts.But I think whenever a group comes out, you always think that it could have been better for us, and could have been worse for us.”

The Black Stars of Ghana will face Cape Verde, Pharoahs of Egypt and Mozambique.

Egypt are the most participated country in the Africa Cup of Nations with seven continental trophies, followed by Ghana in the group.

The Black Stars are currently in America where they are preparing for their two friendly games against Mexico and USA.
