Black Stars forward Brandon Thomas-Asante says the team is determined to make Ghanaians proud by securing victory against Somalia in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.
Ghana will host Somalia in the first leg of their double-header at the Essipong Sports Stadium on Thursday, with the Black Stars seeking to revive their qualifying campaign.
The four-time African champions have endured a difficult start to their Group C campaign, losing 2-0 to Ivory Coast before suffering a disappointing 4-2 defeat to The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday ahead of the encounter, Thomas-Asante said the players were focused on delivering a positive result to restore the country's hopes of qualifying for the tournament.
"The priority is to make Ghana proud tomorrow by winning against Somalia," the Coventry City forward said.
Ghana currently sit bottom of Group C without a point from their opening two matches and cannot afford another setback if they are to keep their qualification ambitions alive.
The Black Stars are hoping to return to the continental showpiece after missing the previous edition in Morocco.
The 2027 AFCON tournament will be jointly hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
