Black Stars will be ready for Botswana

Goran Stevanovic is confident Ghana will be ready for the Group D opener against Botswana at the African Nations Cup.

Following a 1-1 draw performance against South African in a practice game on Sunday, Stevanovic says his team will be in shape by the time they face Botswana in their opening Nations Cup game on January 24.

"I think that it was a very useful game for us after one week of very, very hard work here," the Ghana coach said after the game with South Africa.

"Some of the details were good. Defence, attack and how we organised the game. The players were tired a little but I am sure for the game against Botswana, we will be 100%."

Ghana will play their final practice match against Platinum Stars on Wednesday before travelling to Gabon on Friday.
