President John Dramani Mahama has reassured the Black Stars squad that Ghanaians still stand behind them despite their failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Speaking to the players and technical team during a surprise visit on Wednesday, President Mahama recognized the team’s recent challenges but voiced confidence in their ability to turn things around.
“We didn’t qualify for the AFCON. But even when we qualified for the AFCON, we crashed out very early the last time. And so we haven’t given up on you.
“We still believe that the Black Stars can find its glory again. And it’s dependent on you, the technical team, and the management committee,” he noted.
The President also emphasized that while the nation supports them, their success ultimately hinges on their dedication and performance on the field.
“The goals will come from these feet that are right here. And so it takes sacrifice. It takes strength. We all like to watch you when you play for your teams, and we expect that you bring some of that dedication to the national team.” he said.
The Black Stars are set to face Chad on Friday, March 21 before playing Madagascar three days later in Morocco as they aim to keep their World Cup qualification hopes alive.
