Ghana forward Jordan Ayew has spoken up on his country’s chances of winning the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Black Stars are preparing for the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast, which will take place in January 2024, and Jordan Ayew is anticipated to make another participation, having appeared in six of the previous seven tournaments.
Ayew was instrumental in Ghana reaching the AFCON final in 2015, the team’s closest effort at winning the tournament in recent years. Ghana last won the championship in 1982.
“Everything has its time,” Jordan told Crystal Palace website. “When I’m at Palace I focus 100 per cent on Palace, and when I’m with the Ghana national team, I focus 100 per cent on Ghana.”
“There’s no problem about thinking what will be happening in three months.”
“We’re a team in a building process. We know each other now and we have a good manager in place,” he added.
The Black Stars have been drawn into a challenging group for the 2023 AFCON, alongside record holders Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
Ayew hopes to be influential in the campaign as Ghana aim to end their decades-long trophy drought.
