Badu: Former Udinese ace sets Ghana Afcon title and World Cup qualification priority

The erstwhile Bursaspor man opens up on what he believes should be the Black Stars’ biggest immediate ambition

Former Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu would prefer Ghana won the Africa Cup of Nations title in Cameroon than qualify for the next World Cup tournament in Qatar.

The Black Stars have been on a long search for a fifth continental title since beating hosts Libya on penalties to win the 1982 championship.

Their World Cup story, on the other hand, currently finds itself in a sad tale after they missed out on qualification for Russia 2018, having earlier endured a disastrous campaign at the 2014 gathering in Brazil.
