Tema Youth president Wilfred Kweku Osei has urged the Ghana Football Association and the Black Stars Management Committee to plan the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations as a project and not to prepare for the competition.
Coach CK Akonnor's side has booked qualification to next years Nations Cup to be hosted in Cameroon after finishing top of Group C with 13 points.
The Black Stars have failed to the AFCON since 1982, despite being at the finals of the tournament on three occasions (1992, 2010 and 2015).
According to the former Black Stars Management Committee member, GFA must strategize for the Nations Cup as a project.
"To borrow the words of Samuel Osei Kuffour, we must plan the AFCON as a project and not to prepare for the competition [AFCON 2021]. We should have the intention of going there to win. I want to drive this motivation from Dede Ayew, he has solid leadership qualities. He charged the boys that one competition that they have never participated in is the Confederations Cup so they should try and participate in it," Palmer told Nhyira FM.
"The only way to play the Confederations Cup is by winning the AFCON and this can challenge them. They have played at the World Cup before so this can be motivation enough for them. When we have a solid team there is no problem in achieving this target of winning the AFCON again."
He added, "I am always available. My doors have never closed to football because I eat, drink and everything I do is about football."
