The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has released the Black Stars official shirt numbers for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
The Black Stars are just 10 days away from their opening game of the continental showpiece which will be staged in Ivory Coast.
Ghana is currently camping in Kumasi after rescinding the decision to move to Johannesburg, South Africa, following public outcry.
The Black Stars are housed in Group B for the competition alongside Cape Verde, Egypt and Mozambique.

With Thomas Partey ruled out of action, Majeed Ashimeru takes the Arsenal man's number 8 jersey while Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew maintain their No. 10 and 9 respectively.
