Ghana's captain, Andre Ayew, is aiming to break two records at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 34-year-old is close to equaling Rigobert Song’s 36 games, and if he plays in all three of Ghana’s Group B matches, he could achieve that milestone.
Additionally, Ayew is on track to become the third player to participate in eight AFCON tournaments after Rigobert Song and Ahmed Hassan.
Speaking before Ghana's game against Cape Verde, Ayew emphasized the importance of team success over personal records. He said, “Breaking records and not winning or not having the results as a team is not my ambition as the captain of the team. I want to do everything possible to break the record but most importantly, I want to win games as the leader of the team.”
The Black Stars kick off their campaign tonight against Cape Verde at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan, with the match scheduled to start at 8 pm.
