Ghanaian football legend has touted the Super Eagles as favourites to win the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which is scheduled to start in December.

Gyan, who is Ghana's all-time goal-scorer, said Ivory Coast and host Morocco are equally favourites to clinch the coveted trophy.

He made this known during the CAF Awards in Morocco on Wednesday night.

The former striker expressed disappointment over his country’s failure to qualify for the continental tournament.

“We have a lot of giants who are going there. Ghana is out, which we are very disappointed but it is okay, we qualify to the World Cup,” he said.

Gyang, who captained the Black Stars for many years, noted that Nigeria was outstanding at the last AFCON Cote d’Ivoire.

“Nigeria did well, they were close the last two years. Ivory Coast did well, we have a lot of teams,” he said.

“Morocco is also a strong contender, who are also doing well. I will say these three countries that I have mentioned, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Morocco,” he added.

Nigeria lost the final of the last AFCON to the host nation, Ivory Coast, in a game that ended 2-1.
