Dramani shared his thoughts with CAFOnline, emphasizing how important this qualification would be for the entire football community in Ghana. He explained that it would showcase the depth and quality of the country's domestic football scene, giving players the opportunity to gain visibility and recognition on a larger stage. A successful qualification would also serve as a motivation for up-and-coming players, encouraging them to pursue careers in football and strive for excellence. The second leg of the playoff will take place on Saturday, December 28, at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Nigeria. This marks the second consecutive year the Black Galaxies will face Nigeria in the CHAN qualifiers. In their last encounter two years ago, Ghana triumphed over Nigeria in a penalty shootout, securing a place in the 2022 CHAN tournament, where they were eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Looking ahead to the crucial matches, Dramani remains focused on his team’s preparations and performance, rather than being overly concerned with the rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria. He explained that the Black Galaxies have developed a strong team philosophy and are concentrating on improving their play and consistency ahead of the qualifiers. With both teams aiming for a spot in the prestigious tournament, Dramani believes that his players are mentally and physically prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. While the rivalry between the two nations adds an extra layer of excitement to the fixture, the Black Galaxies are committed to showcasing their best football and hoping to replicate their past success. Fans of the team are eagerly anticipating the upcoming match and are hopeful that Ghana will secure a spot in the 2024 CHAN, continuing to build on the momentum from their previous successes.
