Ghana Could be at Semifinals of AFCON – Sammy Kuffour
Sammy Kuffour, former Black Stars defender, has revealed that Ghana can cause a surprise at the upcoming African Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
In an interview with Kumasi-based Kessben FM, the former Bayern Munich defender said that Ghana can make it to the semifinals.
“Ghana can pull a surprise because we get to the tournament, that is where you see Ghanaian players performing, so I will not be surprised if we play in the semi-finals but even if we exit in the quarter-finals, I will not be surprised and with that, we can plan for the next AFCON,” he told Kumasi based Kessben FM.

The AFCON trophy has eluded Ghana in the last 4 decades. The West African football powerhouse has come close to ending the drought three times, with their last final dating back to 2015.
The 2023 AFCON is scheduled to kick-start on January 13 to February 11, 2024, in the Ivory Coast. Ghana has been paired with Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde in Group B.
Relatedly, Patrick Osei Agyeman, host of Fire for Fire on Adom TV, has called for the sacking of Black Stars coach Chris Houghton ahead of the AFCON.
In a usual rant on his Fire For Fire show on Adom TV, Countryman Songo confessed that he campaigned for the appointment of Chris Houghton but has been left disappointed due to a series of poor results and performances chalked by Ghana under Houghton.
Songo alleged that the only thing keeping Chris Houghton from being sacked is Gabby Otchere-Darko who has confessed to being a good friend of the former Brighton and Hove Albion coach.

“Everyone is expecting Chris Houghton to be sacked because he is not good enough to send us to the AFCON, but what is the ministry saying? The GFA has even written to the government demanding the dismissal of Chris Houghton, but the ministry can’t act because of Gabby Otchere-Darko and also because they don’t trust the FA to do a good job when it comes to the replacement.
The performance of the Black Stars under Chris Houghton has been far from impressive, with calls being amplified daily for his dismissal.
Chris Houghton has been head coach of Ghana since March 2023. He has won 3 games, lost 3 games, and drawn 3 games while scoring 8 goals and conceding 10.
