The president of Ghana, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo, has thrown his weight behind the twenty-three man squad, the technical team and the management representing Ghana in the African cup of nations hosted by Cameroun.

According to the head of state, Ghanaians expect nothing but the ultimate price, ie the AFCON trophy  to gratify Ghana’s hunger for trophy.

” On the eve of the commencement in Cameroun of 2021 Africa cup of nations championship, I send best wishes from all Ghanaians to you, the black stars. We are happy that finally, the Afcon 2021 tournament, which was postponed from last year is now going to be held this year, the coronavirus, notwithstanding. Like with every other edition of Afcon, the Ghanaian people demand nothing short of utmost glory from the stars. The pressure to succeed is understandably high because of our status as four-time witness and also because it has been forty long years since we last lifted the trophy”.

His Excellency goes ahead to charge the black Stars to return with the prestigious Afcon trophy.

“The target for you naturally, is to bring the cup home. The task may be daunting but certainly, not insurmountable. I believe that in the current crop of players, we have the talents to match any of the best teams on the continent.
The Ghana team has been pencilled down. It’s one of the favourites of the tournament because of the sheer quality. This is work to be bring the prediction to fruition.

The head of government concluded his good wishes from the Flagstaff house, monitored by metro tv Ghana by urging Ghanaians to have hope in the stars and choose optimism over pessimism.

“I’m aware there are thirty million coaches in Ghana. However, in this age of social media, we cannot allow any form of pessimism, especially in our comments, to filter through to the team. We cannot directly or indirectly afford to break the morals. In highs and lows, in good or bad times, we must show the team that we are Ghanaians and we look out to each other no matter what. We can make the black stars a force to reckon with once again on the continent and in World football”, the president said.

The black stars of Ghana is scheduled to play against Morocco on Monday, 10th January 2022. 4:00 pm, Ghana time.
