Ghana arrive in Cape Town for CHAN final
Ghana's Africa Nations Championship squad arrive
in Cape Town, buoyed on for Saturday's finals.

Maxwell Konadu led his squad off the plane which
touched down Thursday morning from Bloemfontein,
just a day after they defeated Nigeria 4-1 on
penalties in the last-four fixture which traveled
120 without any goals.

Ghana will now take on the Libya in the grand
finale to be played on Saturday February 1 at the
Cape Town Stadium in South Africa.

Konadu says his team will miss the atmosphere in
Bloemfontein, where he describes as 'home'.

"Playing away from Bloemfontein, which has become
our home, will have some impact on us when we play
Libya in the final in Cape Town," Konadu said.

"The people in Mangaung have been behind us and we
will miss them in the final but we still intend to
do well against Libya, a good side which we know
something about."

It will be Ghana's seconds appearance in the
finals of the tournament while the Mediterranean
Knights make their debut in the final.

The two sides will be meeting for the second time
in this year's tournament after drawing 1-1 during
their group stage clash.
