2021 AFCON: Keep the hope alive - Tony Baffoe crusades support for Black Stars ahead of Gabon tie
12.01.2022 LISTEN

Former Ghana international, Tony Baffoe has rallied support for the Black Stars ahead of their second group game against Gabon.

The four-time African champions suffered a defeat against Morocco in their opening game on Monday in the ongoing 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON].

Sofiane Boufal scored the game's only goal in the 83rd minute as Morocco claim another win over the Black Stars.

Ahead of the game on Friday, the former Deputy Secretary-General of CAF believes there is still hope despite defeat in the first game against the North African side and has therefore called on Ghanaians to throw their weight behind the team.

“Let’s support the Black Stars, all is not over yet because we still have two games to play where we can get six points and qualify to the next round," he said.

“Let’s keep our hope alive like I always say the players' sweat for the nation, sweat for the flag, sweat for the jersey,” he said.

Ghana will take on Gabon in their second Group C game at the AFCON on Friday at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium.
