Egypt is a ‘very tough’ squad, according to Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton, ahead of the two teams meeting at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ghana learned their destiny during Thursday night’s draw in Abidjan, where they were placed in Group B with Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
Hughton’s men will play Egypt in their second group encounter of the competition, four days after taking on Cape Verde.
In response to the prospect of facing the Pharaohs, Hughton stated that he is looking forward to the battle.
“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,” he told the GFA media team.
“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.”
Ghana will begin their group games on January 14 against Cape Verde.
