AFCON 2015: Ghana President Calls For Nation To Rally Black Stars

Ghana president John Mahama said it was critical that the country supports the national team during the Africa Cup of Nations, which kicks off this month.

Ghana have been drawn in what has loosely been referred to as the group of death at this year’s tournament, primarily because they will compete against Algeria, South Africa and Senegal in Group C.

This is why Mahama has urged Ghanaians to get behind their team in the build-up to and during the continental showpiece.

"The players must up their game, because due to the Brazil issues many Ghanaians have lost interest in the Black Stars but my plea is that they (Black Stars) are also a national team and we must support them," Mahama told ExposeGhana.com.


"Due to that Brazil issues a lot of lessons had been learned and that lessons will positively guide the team to Equatorial Guinea to prove to the World that Ghana is still a force to reckon with when it comes to soccer," added Mahama, who is currently serving the second year of his current term in office.

"The boys [Black Stars players] have talents and the way things are going and how the coach is going about with his job I still believe that they will make an impact in the tournament. 

"Though Ghana’s Group is tough and all the teams in the Group are all at par, but they know Ghana is a tough team and they are all frightened that they are in the same Group with Ghana," added the Ghanaian head of state.
