MTN: Ghana shake off early scare to top group

The Black Stars are among the 16 teams who survived the group stage of the ongoing continental competition in Egypt

After thorough groundwork, coupled with satisfactory test matches, Ghana departed for Egypt, brimming with confidence and excitement, to open their 22 nd campaign in Africa’s premier national team competition.

Hopes are high back home, as always. The Black Stars last won the title in 1982, when most of the current vibrant football fans in the country were not born. The trophy has eluded Ghana, as finalists, three times since then, in 1992, 2010 and 2015.
