Although the Black Stars have won the tournament four times, their last championship victory was in 1982.
In an interview with Bryt FM, Polo, a winner of the 1978 AFCON, believes that Ghana is no longer considered a favorite in recent competitions due to their performance.
He noted that the team is not seeded in tournament draws, reflecting the state of Ghanaian football, and that a positive outcome would be akin to a miracle.
.“We pray things will go on well for the Black Stars at the AFCON but I don’t think there is something special we have to talk about
We hope to see something better, if we are able to win the trophy then that will also be a different thing” he said.
Ghana has been placed in Group B and will face challenging opponents, including record holders Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique
Their AFCON campaign kicks off with a match against Cape Verde on January 14, 2024, followed by fixtures against Egypt on January 18 and Mozambique on January 22.
