Ghana will be looking to perform well in the next African cup of nations, which will be switching to odd years from next edition onwards.
Hence, the African cup of nations that was said to be held in 2014 will now be held in 2013. Libya is one of the contenders for hosting this prestigious African competition.
Ghana have always been regarded as one of the top teams in Africa mainly because of the presence of players like Michael Essien and so on. However, without the presence of a number of stars at the 2012 African cup of nations, Ghana failed to live up to the expectations.
The mediocre performing at the 2012 African cup of nations has truly woken up Ghana as a nation. They are now preparing for the next edition of the African cup of nations in the best possible manner. A number of new players have been given their debuts.
Abdul Majeed Waris and Patrick Nyarko will be the two new players to join the Ghana squad soon. Just ahead of the friendly match with Chile, the Ghana football Association revealed that both Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew will not be taking part in the match against Chile due to injuries.
As a result, Abdul Majeed Waris and Patrick Nyarko have been given the chance to show what they can perform at the international stage. Should they participate in a match, it will be their first ever international match. Abdul Majeed Waris is a striker who is currently based on Sweden, while Patrick Nyarko is a player currently representing MLS side Chicago fire. Both these players are expected to be the future of Ghana given that players like Michael Essien are coming to the end of their careers soon. Michael Essien is expected to announce his international retirement soon.
