Ghana can win the 2023 Afcon in Ivory Coast – Abedi Pele

Legendary football player Abedi Ayew Pele is optimistic that the Black Stars will win the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast in 2023.

Ghana will compete in the forthcoming event, which runs from January 13, 2024, to February 11, 2024, with the goal of winning their fifth AFCON championship. They will play in Group B against Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde.

In an interview with Vision 1 FM, which Footballghana.com aired, the three-time African Footballer of the Year winner declared that Ghana might win the next African Football Championship.

“Well, we will win. There will be our chances. We’ve been to finals three times and I think our chance will be maybe this time or in the next four years we will be there” he said.

The Black Stars last won the competition in 1982, their fourth title and have since then lost three finals. They lost 10 years after their last triumph to Ivory Coast on penalties and also gave away the trophy to Egypt in 2010. Ivory Coast repeated their glory against Ghana in 2015.
