GHANA READY FOR THE CHALLENGE
Despite acknowledging the difficulty of the task ahead, Addo remains confident of his team’s ability to overcome Sudan. “It’s going to be a really big challenge to beat them and for this, we have to be at 100% best,” he said.
“It’s going to be a really big challenge to beat them and for this, we have to be at 100% best. But I am excited to play against them, and like I said it’s going to be tough. It’s not easy but we have a strong team and we surely can beat them, this is for sure,” he added.
The AFCON qualifiers are set to kick off in September this year, with Ghana aiming to make a strong start to their campaign and overcome the challenges posed by their opponents in Group F.
