Central African Republic coach Raoul Savoy said he said is happy with the reception his side has received in Ghana since their arrival.
The CAR national football team, will take on their Ghanaian counterparts in a last leg AFCON 2023 qualifier on Thursday.
Coach Savoy’s side, needs to win this Group E tie to qualify for next year’s tournament in Cote D’Ivoire.
The team touched down in Ghana on Saturday ahead of the game, and Coach Savoy has been pleased with the reception handed them since their arrival.
“We have been pleased with the warm reception we have received so far, but we are here to play football, and we are focused on the task ahead of us,” Coach Savoy told the Kumasi media.
He added: “Of course, Ghana is playing at home and they are the favourites. It is the final game for both teams. They are the biggest team in the group and it will be very tough but we are coming to Ghana to play our game and try our best to qualify.”
Ghana leads to group with nine points from five matches, and needs to avoid defeat on Thursday to qualify for the Ivory Coast event.
Angola are second with eight points, with the Central Africans in third position with seven points.
They will give off their all to qualify according to Coach Raoul Savoy on Thursday.
“It is a final and in finals, the small one can surprise the big one. It’s clear that it is a final and both teams will be ready to focus on the goal. The main goal is to qualify for the next AFCON,” he said.
