Head coach of the Black Galaxies, Annor Walker, says the team is in Algeria to win the 2023 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

Walker is hoping to become the first coach to lift the trophy for Ghana after unsuccessful attempts in the previous three editions the team was involved.

Milovan Rajevac and Maxwell Konadu took the team to the final in 2009 and 2014 while Herbert Addo's 2011 side couldn't go past the group stage.

But Walker, who is leading the team now, says the team is in Algiers to win the CHAN tournament for the first time.

"From what our head of delegation said that we are here to win the tournament? Yes. We didn't come here to come and joke. We didn't come here to look at how Algiers town is," he said.

"We came for a purpose and we also came to win the cup."

The Black Galaxies will play their last friendly game on Tuesday, January 10, against Mozambique before the start of the CHAN tournament on January 13.
