Veteran Ghanaian coach Joseph Sarpong urges Black Stars on after 'easy' Afcon draw

Veteran Ghanaian coach Joseph 'JE' Sarpong believes the Black Stars have "no reason to fail" after being handed an "easy group" in the final draw for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Friday's exercise saw Kwesi Appiah's outfit placed in Group F, which includes defending champions Cameroon as well as minnows Benin and Guinea-Bissau.

The four-time champions will open the campaign against The Squirrels on June 25, four days before taking on the Indomitable Lions, whom they lost to in the semi-final of the last gathering in 2017.

The last group game will be against Guinea-Bissau on July 2.
