The Black Challengers defied all the odds to emerge as the overall champions of the continental tournament
Ghana defeated Togo 3-2 in the final on Saturday to emerge champions of the 2021 Amputee Africa Cup of Nations held in Tanzania.
The Black Sticks, who struggled for funds prior to the game and had to enter the tournament without substitutes, overcame their opponents to lift the trophy in the end.
The Black Challengers began the tournament with a 3-0 thumping of North African giants Egypt, before they also thrashed Nigeria 4-0 in the quarterfinals.
Ghana defeated Angola 3-1 in the semifinals to set up a date with neighbouring country Togo in the final at the Benjamin Mkapa Sports Stadium.
After a slow start in the final day, Ghana doubled their efforts to narrowly pip Togo 3-2 to lift the trophy.
Ghana won the maiden edition of the tournament 14 years ago after defeating Liberia 4-3.
