Ghana's Deputy Sports Minister Omane-Boamah
By Ameenu Shardow
Deputy Sports Minister Edward Omane-Boamah is certain of Ghana’s success at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars sealed qualification to their fifth straight finals after beating Malawi 1-0 on Saturday to proceed on a 3-0 aggregate scoreline.
The four-time African champions have however not won the competition in 31-years by the time the tournament kicks off in South Africa next year despite boasting several world class players over the years.
The closest the Black Stars came was losing a marathon penalty shootout against Cote d’Ivoire in 1992 and also in 2010 when they made it all the way to the grand finale only to lose to a more experienced Egyptian side.
Ghana will once more again make an attempt to win the AFCON in South Africa having been touted as pre-tournament favourites alongside Cote D’Ivoire.
And Omane-Boamah is confident the Black Stars can deliver the much awaited silverware at the end of next year’s edition of the biennial showpiece.
“I also came here to Malawi to see to our qualification (to 2013 AFCON), the Black Stars have done it,” he said.
“We are very confident in our minds that come 2013, between January and February, Ghana will lift up the African Cup.”
Ghana finished a disappointing fourth in the last edition of the AFCON co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

Ghanians will die of heart attack..you haven’t even kicked a ball at the 2013 tournament and you are already running your mouths!!!???
Oh pedro, please say that again!! Ghanaians talk too much, and don’t know how to talk actually. We have a big problem, and the sad thing about it is that, most of the guys don’t see that as a problem.
A wise man once told me, he who knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a f**l!!
True Abrantie,Ghana has a very good team. They should just let passion burn inside and not let it out before it serves it’s purpose..have the conviction and belief inside first,everyone knows you guys can get this cup but only if you boil inside with that passion!
Election promise! Idiota
Ghana was in the FINAL in 1992 and lost on penalties…
See this son of bitch so called minister opening his fucking mouth again… we never learn son… he has started raising expectations again thereby putting a lot of unnecessary pressure on the team…. yea we have qualified but our play was very bad against a minnow like malawi!!! Son,stop this bullshit and start plan well because this time is not going to be easy koraa for u and your wifey motherfucker!! Vuva the revolutionciooolooooooooooloo!!!
This fucking ministers after taking their huge allowances and after shopping big in malawi,ll come promising ghanaians heaven motherfucker!!! Yooo b,this time if u fail,we ll get your fucking azz motherfucker!!! As a young minister,you have to start planning well and write you fucking name in gold rather than promising and railby everyday!!! Ya fucking talk too much son!!!
Dont count your chickens before they hatch. Ba zambia baleteya.
Zambia and Nigeria will ensure Ghana do not win afcon. In fact ghana has never won the afocn you brag about winning 4 titles when only 4 teams took part shame on you. You have never won afcon! how can you brag about ancient things from 1982 you are not even embarassed. Only those countries that won with 12 0r more teams are true afrrican chmapions. You cant tell me ethopia is a former african champion thats garbage you and ethopia have never won afcon
