]]> Former Black Stars right full back John Paintsil believes the time has come for Ghana to end its African Cup of Nations trophy drought.

Ghana exited the last Afcon in Gabon at the hands of eventual winners Cameroon stretching their thirst for the Afcon trophy to 36 years.

However missing out on the world cup after a poor qualifying campaign has put pressure on head coach Kwesi Appiah and his charges to use the Afcon 2019 as a means to atone for past disappointments.

According to John Paintsil,Ghana have the right material to win the next Afcon and must take steps to make sure it materializes.

“Yes we stand a big chance of winning it because this World Cup qualifier has opened our eyes.

“We should have learnt from our mistakes and to turn things around we must win the 2019 Afcon.

“It is compulsory and a must win cup and this is what the players must understand,” he told Ghanasoccernet in an interview.

Ghana have started the qualifying campaign on a strong note after recording a resounding 5-0 win over Ethiopia in the first game of Group F and will be looking to dominate the rest of the games.

]]> Black Stars forward Raphael Dwamena is calling on fans to come to the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday to support the Black Stars against Ethiopia in the AFCON 2019 qualifiers.

The Black Stars have been training in Kumasi since Monday ahead of the match. On Wednesday, they beat Asokwa Deportivo 6-1 in a warm up match and Dwamena scored two goals on the day.

He said after the match that the supporters should fill the stadium as they seek to win against Ethiopia.

“I am grateful to the fans for showing up today. I did not expect a lot of them to be at the stadium for this training match. We are hoping that they will come in their numbers on Sunday and support the Black Stars so we can beat Ethiopia.”

Dwamena said that he and his team mates are very prepared for the encounter and they will have to rely on the collective effort to get the right result.

“We, the players, are focused on the game and we just want to win. The most important thing for us is that the team should win. It is not about the individuals.”
