Ghana coach Chris Hughton will announce his final squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations on Monday, January 1, 2024.

The former Premier League manager is expected to engage the media at the Alisa Hotel to unveil his 27-man squad for the continental showpiece in Ivory Coast next month.

Hughton initially named a 55-man provisional squad but will prune the list down to the required 27-man squad for the tournament.

The media engagement aims to give Chris Hughton opportunity to engage the sports media ahead of the tournament scheduled for Cote D’Ivoire from Saturday, January 13 – Sunday, February 11,2024.

Ghana will play Namibia in an international friendly at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Monday, January 8, 2024 as part of the build up to the tournament in Cote D’Ivoire.

The Black Stars will be competing for the title in neighbouring country, Ivory Coast next month as the search for a fifth AFCON title continues.

The Black Stars have a history of success in the AFCON, having won the title four times, most recently in 1982. However, they have experienced defeat in three finals since then, including losses to Ivory Coast in 1992 on penalties and Egypt in 2010, as well as a repeat defeat to Ivory Coast in 2015.
