The four Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) trophies won by Ghana have reportedly gone missing.
The Black Stars emerged as African champions in 1963, 1965, 1978 and 1982, but have not won any major silverware in the last 40 years.
Speaking about Ghana’s poor record of keeping relics, Angel FM sports journalist Saddick Adams said the replica AFCON trophies given to Ghana by CAF cannot be traced.
According to Saddick Adams, who is the reigning Sports Writers Association of Ghana’s (SWAG) sports journalist of the year, he tried tracking the trophies before the 2019 AFCON and was told they were missing.
“You know that CAF gives you a replica when you win the trophy but then, you get the golden one when you win it for keeps [three times],” he said on his programme.
“Before the 2019 AFCON, I asked questions about the four trophies that we have won and I was told that we lost the trophies during the Coup when the National Sports Council Office was ransacked.”
