Mahama backs Black Stars to win AFCON, World Cup with squad stability

He expressed confidence that the national team could develop into a title-winning side if its current squad and technical team are retained. He stated, "I am sure that if we keep this team and we persuade the coach to continue to work with the team, by the time of the next AFCON and World Cup, we will have a team that can claim the championship in any of those two competitions."

He said the team's progress should provide the foundation for a long-term rebuilding process.
