Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo has called for support for the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. President Nana Akufo-Addo made mention of this when the a delegation led by the led by the Minister of Youth and Sports Hon. Mustapha Ussif, the Ghana Football Association, and all the Supporters Unions of Ghana met at the Jubilee House, to sign the national flag; a move towards rallying popular support for the team, and wish them well in this national endeavor.<\/p>\n

According to the President, the Black Stars, \u201cshould know and feel that the entire nation, without the distinction of politics, religion, ethnicity; the entire Ghanaian nation are 100% solidly behind them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delivering a message of optimism on the account of the 2-0 victory over Switzerland in a pre-tournament friendly, President Akufo-Addo said, \u201cI know that they are not there to make up the numbers and that they are going to give a very good account of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Therefore, he stated, \u201cI want first of all to thank all of you, very much for making the effort to come and see me before the competition starts, so that we can all together with the black stars the very best of luck,\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us know what football means to us in this country and what a very rich history we have in football. History goes right back to the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, right up till today; and I\u2019m very confident that the players that have been selected, right up to the excellent technical team that we have under the leadership of Otto Addo, that we are going to give a very good account of ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recalling Pele\u2019s prediction of the 1970s, the President said, \u201ca long time ago, the greatest footballer that has ever lived, the Brazilian, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pele, said that very soon an African country is going to win the African Cup and I know that, when he said that, he had in mind Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

He, therefore, called on all to \u201crally round the team, and make sure that we give them our maximum support. They are going to go a long way away to Doha in Qatar, but they should know that the entire nation, without distinction of politics, religion, ethnicity; the entire Ghanaian nation are 100% solidly behind them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am impressed by the arrangements that the Minister for Youth and Sports, has made and all those who are involved in the administration of the Black Stars. Very well-organized and systematic efforts have been made to make sure that we give the Black Stars the best possible conditions, to go forward,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
