AFCON 2027Q: ‘There is always hope’ – Afena-Gyan confident Black Stars can qualify
Black Stars forward Felix Afena-Gyan believes there is still an opportunity for the team to get their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers back on track despite their poor start.
The Black Stars lost their opening two games of the qualifiers against Cote d'Ivoire and Gambia in the extended September international break.
However, there is an opportunity to keep qualification hopes alive with the doubleheader against Somalia next in line for the team.
Afena-Gyan, who is expected to be part of the squad for the games, believes it will be a mistake to rule Ghana out of the tournament after just two games.
"They [the fans] should come in their numbers to support us. We are going to give our best," he told Africa4Sports.
"There is always hope [that we can qualify for the AFCON]. It's a mistake to rule us out. Losing the two matches doesn't mean anything. Nothing is out of hand."
Afena-Gyan was on target in the 4-2 defeat to Gambia in the last international break.
Ghana face Somalia on Thursday, November 12, at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi before laying the reverse fixture four days later.
