2027 AFCON Qualifiers: Black Stars have the qualities to win against Somalia - Kim Lars Bjrkegren
WED, 11 NOV 2026

Interim Black Stars coach Kim Lars Björkegren believes Ghana have the quality to play attractive football and create scoring opportunities ahead of their crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Somalia.

The Swedish trainer made the remarks while addressing the media ahead of the double-header encounter against the East African side.

Ghana will host Somalia at the Essipong Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12, before travelling for the return fixture on Monday, November 16.

The Black Stars are desperate for their first victory in the qualifying campaign after suffering consecutive defeats against Ivory Coast and The Gambia in their opening two matches.

Despite the disappointing start, Björkegren remains confident in the team's ability to produce an improved performance and secure the much-needed victory.

“We have the potential to play good football and create chances to win the game against Somalia,” he said.

Ghana are aiming to return to the continental showpiece after missing out on the 2025 edition in Morocco.

The 2027 AFCON tournament will be jointly hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, with the Black Stars hoping to revive their qualification hopes in the two matches against Somalia.
