Ghana targets 2024 Futsal AFCON title
This is Ghana's second appearance at the Futsal AFCON, having finished as runners-up to Egypt in 1996
Ghana’s senior national men’s futsal team head coach, Philip Boakye, has set his sights on both the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup qualification and the Futsal Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title as his team prepares to kick off their campaign in Morocco.
The eight-team tournament runs from 11–21 April in Rabat, with the top three finishers securing automatic qualification for the World Cup in Uzbekistan later this year (14 September to 6 October).
Boakye is not just aiming for qualification, however, he believes his squad can dethrone the defending champions and hosts, Morocco and lift the continental trophy.
“Our expectation [is] to qualify the team for the World Cup and to win the AFCON,” Boakye declared.
“This is the second time Ghana is representing in the AFCON and surely we promise Ghanaians that we’ll surprise everybody.”
“Ghanaians must pray for us and support the team. The confidence that I have from the boys—we need their prayers; we’ll win the tournament for them,” he added.
This is just Ghana’s second appearance at the Futsal AFCON, having finished runners-up to Egypt in 1996. They find themselves in Group A alongside Zambia, Angola, and Morocco.
Boakye is confident his players are well-prepared, adding that, “We have enjoyed good preparations and support from the FA, especially the president. We are very confident that we will win this tournament and also qualify for the World Cup.”
