Coach Maxwell Konadu had to take up the hard decision of dropping four players from his squad because of the tough competition in the team as they are all vying for slots in Ghana’s world cup squad.

The biggest inclusion in Ghana’s final squad include the impressive Kotoko striker Seidu Bancey who got a late call up to the team after missing the final of the GoTV WAFU Cup due to a nagging injury. He will be joined in the striking line by other top scorers in the Ghanaian league such as Sulley Mohammed and Samuel Afful.
The Ghanaians are currently holding camp in Namibia and they will do battle in Group C with Libya, Congo and Ethiopia.
The 16 nation tournament will kick off on January 11 and run for three weeks till 1 February.
