Former President John Dramani Mahama on Wednesday paid a surprise visit to the Black Stars during their training session at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The visit aimed to boost the team’s morale ahead of their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
Addressing the players and technical team, Mahama acknowledged the team’s recent struggles but expressed confidence in their ability to bounce back.
“We didn’t qualify for the AFCON. But even when we did, we crashed out early last time. We haven’t given up on you. We still believe the Black Stars can find its glory again, and that depends on you, the technical team, and the management committee,” he said.
Reaffirming the nation’s support, he emphasized that success depends on the team’s commitment and effort.
“The goals will come from these feet right here. It takes sacrifice and strength. We enjoy watching you play for your clubs, and we expect the same dedication for the national team,” he added.
The Black Stars will face Chad on March 21 before taking on Madagascar three days later in Morocco as they continue their quest for World Cup qualification.
