In a show of strong support and motivation, the Black Stars of Ghana received an unexpected visit from the President of the Republic, John Mahama, during their training session at the Ohene Djan stadium in Accra. President Mahama, who stayed for the entire morning session led by coach Kwesi Appiah, conveyed a message of confidence and encouragement to the players.
Expressing pride in representing the nation, President Mahama assured the team of the entire nation’s support and prayers. Additionally, he brought a tangible boost to the team’s morale by announcing a 50% increase in the victory bonus for the upcoming match against Egypt. Instead of the usual $10,000, players will now receive $15,000 for a victory.
This surprise visit and the uplifting words from the President aim to strengthen the Black Stars as they face Egypt on October 15 in Kumasi, especially considering the challenges the team has been navigating with multiple player withdrawals. The increased bonus serves as both a recognition of the team’s efforts and a motivation for a successful performance against Egypt.
