2025 AFCONQ: Ghana is blessed with talented players, says Angola coach
Angola’s coach, Pedro Gonçalves, has praised Ghana’s Black Stars for their wealth of talent, insisting that they should not be underestimated.
His comments come ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match against Ghana. The Palancas Negras will face the Black Stars at Baba Yara Stadium on September 5.
Despite Ghana’s underwhelming performances in the last two AFCON tournaments held in Cameroon and Ivory Coast, Gonçalves remains confident in their strength.
He emphasized that the four-time African champions are still a major force in African football.
“They are the third with the best ranking, 4 titles and 24 participations, a very powerful team full of talents and with whom we recently played in the previous AFCON qualification, therefore, we know well the power which, despite ending up little lower than their expectations at the last AFCON, Ghana is still a very powerful team,” the Portuguese trainer told CAFOnline.
Angola is in Group F alongside Ghana, Niger, and Sudan.
