Chris Hughton, head coach of the Black Stars, has spoken on the three countries Ghana will face in the upcoming AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire next year.
In Group B, the Black Stars will face Egypt, a North African powerhouse, as well as Cape Verde and Mozambique.
Egypt, who were finalists in the most recent Africa Cup of Nations, has won the trophy a record seven times.
When the two teams met in the 2010 FIFA World Cup final in Angola, Egypt won 1-0.
According to Ghana’s coach, he has very little knowledge about the opposition in the group aside from Egypt.
“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 said.
“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.
“And of course, Mozambique and Cape Verde, are two teams that I don’t know so much about. However, we will do all of our homework, over these coming months, watch their games from now, and before the tournament starts.
“But I think whenever a group comes out, you always think that it could have been better for us, and could have been worse for us.”
The Black Stars are currently in America where they are preparing for their two friendly games against Mexico and USA.
