Ghana President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has charged the Black Stars to clinch the 2017 African Cup of Nations crown – to end an astonishing 35-year wait for the coveted trophy.

The West Africans are desperate to go a step further after finishing second in the last edition in 2015.

The four-time African champions must negotiate a difficult group D comprising old foes Uganda, Mali and Egypt.

Pressure is building in the air for the Ghanaians to end a long wait for an African title having won the title last in 1982.
