Following a disappointing AFCON campaign in Cameroon, where expectations fell short, Ghana enters the 34th edition with renewed optimism. The Black Stars aim to shatter the more than 40-year Afcon trophy drought haunting the nation, with Semenyo, a pivotal force in the team’s striking lineup, expressing confidence in their success.
“Be patient, be ready for success and enjoyment, goals and celebration when we win,” Semenyo conveyed to the Ghana Football Association media, emphasizing the team’s readiness for triumph. The Black Stars, currently in Ivory Coast, have undergone rigorous training sessions as they prepare for the challenging Group B, facing formidable opponents like Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde. Eager to end their trophy drought, the four-time champions are determined to make a mark in the tournament.
