Ex-Ghana FA Ben Koufie doubts if Ghana can win 2015 Africa Cup of Nations

Former Ghana Football Association boss Ben Koufie believes the Black Stars are outsiders to win the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup finalists endured difficult times to seal a place to Equatorial Guinea.

Ghana needed a final day 3-1 win over Togo at home to confirm their ticket for a 20th Nations Cup appearance.

A tough draw awaits the four-time champions who can be paired alongside Ivory Coast and South Africa when it is held on 03 December in Malabo.

Ghana have not won the Nations Cup title since 1982 but Koufie fears the long search for a major trophy can be extended.

“It is not easy. It is a very difficult. Our team was taking shape until some issues led to its downward spiral,” Koufie, a CAF technical instructor, told Accra-based Happy FM.

“The money issue at the World Cup affected the team but now they are trying to pick themselves up after the AFCON. So it is difficult for Ghana to win the Nations Cup.”

Ghana have reached the medal zone of the last four editions of the Africa Cup of Nations.
