Former president John Mahama has called on Ghanaians to give their full support to the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
The competition is set to kick off on Sunday, November 20, 2022, in Qatar.
In a social media post, Mr Mahama recounted how the Black Stars have put Ghana and Africa on the world map in previous tournaments in 2006 and 2010 and said he has the belief that the team will go far in this year’s edition.
“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.”
He thus called on Ghanaians to show patriotism by fully supporting the national team.
“The players and the technical team have done their part by answering the national call once again and have exhibited the willingness to fight for the nation.
“It must be our patriotic duty as citizens to give them our full support, and as Ghanaians, we must see this as a call to national duty.
“We might hold different views in our politics, religion, or ethnicity, but the Black Stars are the only senior national team we have, and we have always been united in rallying behind our team.
“I trust that we will rise to this challenge again as a nation because together we are unbeatable.
Go Black Stars!
Show the world that WE ARE GHANA!”, Mahama said.
Ghana is in group H with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay and will face Portugal in their first group stage match on Thursday, November 24, 2022.
