tournament [3rd edition] reserved for only
home-based players of member nations.

As coach Maxwell Konadu prepares his side to kick
off in Group C against Congo on Monday, Ghana
Football Association President, Kwesi Nyantakyi
remains optimistic about their chances.

"The challenge is build for the future and ready
them for the main senior team but we can also
compete against the best on the continent,"
Nyantakyi said.

"I am very confident that we can do better than we
did the last time round. I have enough confidence
in the coach - Maxwell Konadu - and his team.

"But we should expect stiff competition from the
other sides."

and Ethiopia in Mangaung and will play their games
at the Free State Stadium.
