Yvonne Ayew, the Ivorian wife of Ghana captain Andre Ayew, has expressed her support for the Black Stars ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Married to Andre for several years with two children, Yvonne is backing Ghana for glory in the tournament, even though she mentioned she would also be delighted if Ivory Coast wins.
When asked by Canal Plus about her allegiance, Yvonne responded, “Being Ivorian, it’s a question you probably get often. Who do you support this year?” She responded by backing Ghana.
“This year, I support André. He’s in the Ghanaian team. But, if Ivory Coast wins, I’ll also be very, very, very happy.”
With both Ivory Coast and Ghana in Groups A and B respectively, there’s a possibility of a clash in the round of 16 if both teams progress.
Andre Ayew and the Black Stars aim to end Ghana’s 42-year trophy drought, emphasizing the difficulty of AFCON compared to the World Cup but expressing unity and determination within the team to pursue victory in Ivory Coast.
