Member of Parliament for Gomoa East and deputy chairman of Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Kojo Asemanyi, is optimistic of the Black Stars chances of winning the Nations Cup in Egypt this June.
The senior national team is chasing a fifth elusive AFCON title after last winning it in 1982. The Black Stars have come close three times since lifting the title in Libya.
According to the young legislator, with his government efforts of satisfying the necessary needs of the team, he is convinced the current team can end Ghana’s 37-year wait for the trophy.
” Since our President Nana Akuffo Addo is bent on adding the AFCON trophy as one of his good deeds I feel we can do something very meaningful in Egypt.” Asemanyi told Starr Sports.
“From 1992 we have come close thrice and we can win it this fourth time if we get to the finals,” he added.
The Black Stars have been drawn in Group F of the Nations Cup with defending Champions Cameroon, Guinea Bissau and Benin.
Meanwhile, Coach Kwesi Appiah is yet to name his team for the biennial competition with less 50 days to go.
