The Black Stars lost to the Ivory Coast 9-8 in a dramatic penalty shoot-out of the 30th edition of the tournament hosted in Equatorial Guinea.

Grant says he has a side capable of competing now and in the future.

The former Chelsea manager is adamant that his youngish side showed remarkable improvement and are now a force to reckon with on the continent.

“We are a very young side but we have shown what we can achieve as a unit,” Grant told SuperSport TV.

“I think we have a team not only for now but for the future.

“Nobody gave us a chance coming into this but we have shown that we can compete all the way.”
