Ghana will turn table against Nigeria in WAFU Cup final – coach

Hosts and defending champions Ghana will fight to turn the table against rivals Nigeria in Sunday’s WAFU Cup final in Cape Coast, according to a confident coach Maxwell Konadu.

Nigeria stunned the Black Stars 2-0 on Monday in a final Group A match, but Konadu said they have overcome injuries to key players and will fight to keep their sub-regional crown in front of their home fans in Cape Coast.

Sunday’s final to be graced by CAF boss Ahmad and top officials will kick off by 7pm after the third-place match between Benin and Niger, which is slated to start by 4pm Nigerian time.
.
“We will be very prepared for Nigeria. They beat us last time so we have to come out strong to turn the table against them come Sunday,” Konadu said after his team brushed aside Niger 2-0 Thursday night to reach the championship game.
.
“They are a very good side, but we have to fight very hard.
.
“You know we are the defending champions, but that now belongs to history. Sunday will be a new chapter we have to open and we will do so by trying to beat Nigeria.
.
“The last time (we met), we had issues as regards injuries, but I hope we have all the players fit on Sunday and we will come very, very strong against Nigeria.
.
“It won’t be an easy game, they won’t find it easy as well.”
.
The WAFU Cup champions will win a prize money of $100,000,while the beaten finalists pocket $50,000.
