“They have toiled through qualification and secured us the right to be counted among the best 32 footballing nations on earth. That is, in itself, significant and worth celebrating. Now the time has come to stake a claim to the world cup trophy itself and I believe our Black Stars have what it takes to go all the way.
We have a rich history at the world cup where we have held the world spell-bound with our unique brand of football. The Black Stars brought us immeasurable joy in 2006 and 2010 when they lifted the banner of Ghana and Africa so high that the world took notice. From all indications, they stand poised to do so again at the 2022 edition in Qatar,” Mr Mahama said in a goodwill message to the Black Stars.

Go Black Stars!!! Show the world that we are Ghana,” John Dramani Mahama added.
