Black Stars Make a Stylish Arrival in Abidjan Ahead of AFCON 2023

In a display of cultural pride and unity, the Black Stars, Ghana’s national football team, made a stylish entrance into the Ivorian capital, Abidjan, on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 10, 2024. The players, coaches, and officials all adorned themselves in the vibrant and traditional Kente cloth, creating a visually striking spectacle upon their arrival at the airport.

Viral photos circulating on social media captured iconic moments of Inaki Williams, the dynamic Ayew brothers, Andre and Jordan, as well as Daniel Amartey and other squad members showcasing their unique fashion sense in the richly patterned Kente fabric. The ensemble not only emphasized a strong sense of cultural identity but also celebrated the diversity within the team.

As the squad readies itself for the challenges ahead in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Chris Hughton’s side finds themselves grouped with formidable opponents – Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde in Group B. The stage is set for intense clashes, and the Black Stars are gearing up for their opening match against Cape Verde on Sunday, January 14, a contest that promises to be a stern test for the team.


Despite the excitement surrounding the team’s arrival and the imminent commencement of the tournament, the Ministry of Youth and Sports has opted to keep the Black Stars’ budget for the 2023 AFCON under wraps until after the competition concludes. This decision adds an air of anticipation, leaving fans and enthusiasts eager to discover the financial investment behind the team’s quest for AFCON glory.

As the Black Stars embark on this thrilling journey, draped in the hues of Kente, they not only carry the hopes and aspirations of a nation but also symbolize the fusion of tradition and modernity that defines Ghanaian football. The countdown to their inaugural match in Abidjan has begun, and fans are bracing themselves for a captivating display of skill, teamwork, and national pride on the grand stage of AFCON 2023.
