Ghana U-20 head coach Abdul Karim Zito has stated that he and his boys want to win the trophy because it is Ghana's independence day today.
At 8pm, they will battle with Uganda for the crown after qualifying to the final of the competition.
Ghana have won the tournament on three occasions and are looking for their fourth title today.
In a press conference on Friday, Zito stated the team's ambitions.
“What happened in 2009 is history and it’s past is gone, we are talking about tomorrow’s match," Zito said during the pre-match press conference on Friday, as reported by the Ghana FA official website.
“I can tell you that we are keen to win this trophy because tomorrow is Ghana’s independence anniversary."
“We are privileged to represent our nation here and the best way to thank our country is to win this trophy and present to our president Nana Akufo-Addo."
“He sent us to represent the country and it’s a must to win tomorrow to show him that we have achieved the task he gave us. Past success does not always reflect what will happen tomorrow."
