AFCON 2021: Black Stars arrive in Cameroon for tournament
The Black Stars of Ghana have arrived in Yaoundé, Cameroon for the 33rd edition of the Africa Cup Of Nations.
The team touched down at the Yaoundé Nsimalen Airport at approximately 20:30GMT from Doha on Saturday, a day to the start of the Africa Cup Of Nations in Cameroon.
The team comprised of 25 players and the entire technical team of the Black Stars including the Black Stars management team.
Kamaldeen Sulemana was also part of the team upon their arrival in Yaoundé, having missed the pre-tournament camp after being forced to isolate in France after reports of a possible positive Covid 19 result.
The travelling squad did not have Mohammed Kudus who is at camp with Ajax in Portugal as he recovers from an injury; and Philemon Baffour who was reportedly in Portugal for a trial.
The competition will be held from January 9, 2022 to February 6, 2022 in six venues in five cities.
The Black Stars of Ghana are in Group C and will begin the tournament this Monday with a game against Morocco before playing Gabon and Comoros.
Ghana are four time winners of the continental showpiece and will be hoping to end their 40 year drought of winning the trophy since Libya 1982.
