Ghanaians are eager to see the nation win another AFCON title says Asamoah Gyan who has been part of the Black Stars side that have come close several times.

Gyan said this after the AFCON 2021 draw when made on Tuesday night stating that the Black Stars performance at CAF's flagship tournament does not matter so long as they don't bring home the trophy.

The Black Stars have been pooled in Group C with Morocco alongside Comoros and Gabon.

Speaking on the draw Ghana’s all-time top-scorer, Asamoah Gyan said he is looking forward to the Black Stars lifting the AFCON 2021 trophy in Cameroon after coming close several times.

Gyan also talked about how frustrating it has been for Ghanaians to see another AFCON trophy. He is hopeful that the forthcoming tournament will end the country’s over three decades wait for a fifth trophy.

“Since 2008 out worst is the semi-final so it is like we have always been coming closer to the cup but we don’t get it. I think back home everybody wants nothing but the cup. It doesn’t matter the performance it’s about the cup so that is what we are praying for.” he said during the 2021 AFCON group stage draw.

Ghana after winning her fourth AFCON title in 1982 has since appeared 6 times in the semi-finals, reaching the finals on three occasions.
