Andre Dede Ayew, Black Stars captain, asserted that the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament is extremely difficult to compete in.
According to him, winning the FIFA World Cup is very hard for African teams, but AFCON is more difficult and competitive than the prestigious tournament despite its history.
Ayew made the statement on Tuesday night at the Black Stars farewell dinner in Kumasi, in the presence of President Nana Akuffo Addo and Minister Mustapha Ussif.

Speaking at the Farewell dinner with Black Stars, Andre Ayew said; “This tournament is even harder than the World Cup,”.
“We know that it is the hardest tournament, for me, in the world when it comes to fighting, determination, and energy so the only way we can do this is by being together and being united, and for that Your Excellency, I can assure you that we are united and we want to do it,” he added.
