Togetherness will enable Black Stars to win 2021 Afcon – George Afriyie

Ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon], George Afriyie has pleaded for togetherness to enable the Black Stars to win the tournament.

The West Africa country have been struggling to end its 38 years trophy drought after winning the ultimate in 1982.

The country has however played in four major finals but have failed to win the trophy.

According to the former Ghana Football Association [GFA] vice president, the division in the country stems from partisan politics.

He added that football and sports, in general, must be devoid of any political influence in order to create a serene environment for success.

“We have allowed the two political parties to involve themselves too much in our football,” he told Kumasi based Nhyira FM.

“We need the NPP and NDC governments in our game but it is not healthy to allow them to be dominant in our sporting arena.

“As one faction prays for glory, the other faction is against it, it is not helping,” he added.

Ghana have booked their ticket for the 2021 AFCON to be staged next year in Cameroon as they seek to win their fifth title.
