“We will also make sure we adhere strictly to the CAF rules. Whatever CAF will direct we will make sure we adhere to it directly. I am not sure more people will go like the previous edition”, he added.
The AFCON tournament will see 24 nations battling it out for the ultimate trophy and will span from Sunday January 9 to Saturday February 6.
The Black Stars have won the AFCON on four occasions dating back to 1982 when they beat Libya on penalties.
It’s been 40 years since the trophy last landed in Ghana and Milovan Rajevac and his men are full of optimism to end that long standing years of trophy drought.
