Ghana Sports minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah has tipped the home-based Stars to beat à ââ¬Ëconfusedââ¬â¢ Libya to lift the CHAN title on Saturday.
The two sides will go at each other in Saturdayââ¬â¢s final at Cape Town after they both negotiated their semi-final games.
Ghana and Libya needed penalty shootout to advance to the finals at the expense of Nigeria and Zimbabwe respectively.
Libyan football was brought to a halt for two years due to political tension that engulfed the North African country.
But they are just a game away from lifting the trophy which could help to heal wounds in the post Gadhafi era.
However Ghanaââ¬â¢s sports minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah says their opponent are too 'confused' to stand mighty Ghana.
ââ¬ÅLibya? Thatââ¬â¢s Gadhafiââ¬â¢s children. He is dead and so they are confused. They should just give the cup to us,â⬠à he joked after Ghanaââ¬â¢s semi-final win over Nigeria.
ââ¬ÅThey cannot stand in our way for the title. We are taken the cup home to our people.ââ¬
Football in Libya only started in September last year after being brought to a halt in February 2011 by the civil conflict which ousted the dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
