He joined the likes of Ivory Coast’s Didier Drogba and Senegal’s El Hadji Diouf to conduct Tuesday’s draw in Yaounde, Cameroon.
“I feel very honoured to be part of the legends to run this draw,” Gyan told Kumasi-based Kessben FM after the AFCON draw.
“I was a bit surprised but not too surprised because of the level I have reached in my football career. I’m not respected in Ghana but outside Ghana, I’m highly revered.”
The ex-Sunderland forward holds a series of records, including being Ghana’s all-time top scorer with 51 goals.
He was also the country’s first player to score at the FIFA World Cup and remains Africa’s leading scorer at the global showpiece with six goals.
