GHANA’S AMPUTEE TEAM CROWNED 2024 AAFCON CHAMPIONS AFTER BEATING MOROCCO

Ghana’s national amputee football team have been crowned champions of the 2024 African Amputee Football Cup of Nations (AAFCON) after beating Morocco in the final.

The Black Challenge had to come from a goal down to record an important 2-1 victory over the North Africans in Cairo, Egypt.

Having fallen behind to the Moroccans early in the game, forward Mohammed Mubarak scored twice to turn the scoreline around.

Monday’s triumph means Ghana have now won the Amputee AFCON back-to-back after also emerging as champions in 2021.

Black Challenge head coach Stephen Richard Obeng expressed his delight at his side’s exploits, insisting the team had to achieve this despite receiving little support.

“We feel very proud. The God we trusted made it happen. We’re champions in Africa for the third time in the space of two years. Despite the challenges we went through, we did it,” he said, as quoted by 3Sports.

“It is a massive motivation to everybody that you might not have the support you need but you can go beyond the odds and make it happen.”
