Ghana are planning to end their 41-year title drought in the upcoming 2024 Africa Cup of Nations. Although Ghana are a powerhouse in African football, they have struggled to compete for this continental trophy since their victory in 1982. The Blackstars came close to winning the title in 1992, 2010 and 2015 but ended up as runners-up. In order to end the title drought and claim the title, former Ghana international Laria Kingston believes the team must correct their previous disappointing performances.
In the tournament, Ghana will face strong rivals such as Nigeria, defending champions Senegal and former victories Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. In their previous fixtures, Ghana have been disappointing, coming out early in the round of 16 and the group stage ** game. They suffered a thrilling defeat to newcomers Comoros in the 2022 tournament and ended up bottom of the group stage. However, Ghana has the talent and strength to compete with other teams and go deep into the competition.
Ghana's squad for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations has been announced, with coach Chris Hughton named a 55-man preliminary squad. The selection of British-born striker Brandon Thomas Asante and several other homegrown players shows the team's preparation for the upcoming game. The list will eventually be whittled down to 26 people. Overall, Ghana's hopes to end their 41-year Africa Cup of Nations title drought depend on them correcting past mistakes, showcasing their talent and tackling a challenging group stage in the upcoming 2024 tournament.
