Ghana were losing finalists at the inaugural African Nations Championship in Cote d'Ivoire in 2009, going down 2-0 to DR Congo in the final.

It was a wonderful tournament for them though and they will once again be among the favourites in 2011, having been pulled in Group B with South Africa, Niger and Zimbabwe.

New Edubiase United striker Stephen Manu is the only surviving member from team that finished runners-up two years ago, but the most notable name in their line-up is goalkeeper Sammy Adjei, who has been a regular with the full national side for much of his career.

The squad, coached by Herbert Addo, has been preparing for the event in Kenya, where their three matches against local club sides yielded a win, a loss and a draw.
