Ghana coach, Milovan Rajevac, says he is confident his side will put up a good fight and win the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] next year.
The Serbian tactician on Tuesday at the Ghana Football Association [GFA] named his 30-man provisional squad for the 33rd edition of the Afcon scheduled to be hosted in Cameroon.
Ghana, having won the last Afcon trophy in 1982 in Libya, has struggled to win the ultimate despite coming close in 1992, 2010 and 2015.
Quizzed if the provisional squad is capable of ending the 40 years trophy drought, the 63-year-old gaffer said he strongly believes in the players he has assembled and will make sure they put up a good fight.
“I strongly believe this group of players is ready to fight for the country, they are ready to step up and make the country and themselves proud,” Rajevac said yesterday.
