AFCON Qualifiers: Frank Acheampong Hopes For Black Stars Return

Ghana international, Frank Acheampong is aiming for a return to the Black Stars in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches scheduled for November.

The Tianjin TEDA forward has been out of the Black Stars team for quite some time and missed last year’s AFCON tournament staged in Egypt.

Now the captain of his Chinese Super League outfit, Frank Acheampong says he is putting in the effort to ensure he convinces the technical team of the Ghana national team to give him an invite soon.

“It is evident Ghana has a pool of talent. I miss the Black Stars but it’s my prayer to earn another call up”, the pacey forward told Kumasi FM in an interview.

He continued, “I’m upping my game to earn me a spot in the Black Stars again. I am sure the technical team will divert attention to the Chinese league to assess my performance and invite me. I am forever ready for the Black Stars.

Ghana is scheduled to face off with Sudan in a double-header encounter in November in what will be a Group C clash in the qualifiers to the next AFCON tournament.
