Former Ghana international Abukari Damba believes the involvement of "high-profile personalities" with the Black Stars is an indication of how badly the nation wants to end their long Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) trophy drought in Egypt.
Ghana President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is the biggest personality to have waded into issues of the national team in recent times, the latest being an intervention regarding the team's captaincy.
“There is pressure on the team and there will always be pressure on the team to win," Damba, a member of Ghana's squad at the 1992 Afcon told Class FM.
