Sammy Kuffour explains why Ghana could go all the way to win Afcon 2019

Former Ghana and Bayern Munich defender Samuel Osei Kuffour believes the Black Stars' underdog status could be a blessing in disguise at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

The West Africans will be going in search of a first continental title since 1978, having come close in making the semi-finals at the last six tournaments and reaching the final in 2010 and 2015.

For the group stage of the June 21-July 19 championship, the Black Stars have been drawn against defending champions Cameroon, Benin and Guinea-Bissau.
