PHOTOS: Black Stars arrive in Cote D’Ivoire in style ahead of 2023 AFCON

Four-time African champions, the Black Stars of Ghana, have landed in Abidjan ahead of the start of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. 

The team left Accra on Wednesday morning and as expected arrived in Abidjan the same day.

The Black Stars players arrived with some sense of pride, wearing homemade kente, and displaying the rich cultural heritage of the country.

All 27 players as well as the technical team were seen in the traditional kente and slippers as they touched down.

Ghana shares borders with Ivory Coast and have similar cultural influences.

The 1982 African champions will be hoping to end their 42-year wait for the title in Ivory Coast, having lost their last three finals to their neighbours.

The Black Stars will be based in Abidjan for their group games, where they will face seven-time champions Egypt, Cape Verde and Mozambique.
