The Deputy Minister of sports, Hon. Evans Bobie Opoku has backed the Black Galaxies to grab all three points against Sudan on Thursday in CHAN 2022.
Ghana started their CHAN 2022 campaign poorly, losing 2-1 to Madagascar on Sunday.
Hon. Opoku visited the team today and had some words of motivation.
“The Honorable Minister of Youth & Sports Hon Mustapha Ussif has asked me to encourage you to fight on and qualify for the next stage of the tournament’
“The nation is still behind you and we are confident you can make it”
“As a way of motivating you, government has fulfilled all outstanding entitlements due to the team and we are also ready redeem all promises when you make it to the next round”.
“Dont be discouraged. You have an opportunity to correct what happened the last time”.
“The nation has confidence in you. In life we all make mistakes but what is ahead of us is most important.”
Board Chairman of the National Sports Authority Hon. Seth Panwum also backed the team to show their qualities when they come up against their Sudanese counterparts.
“The game on Sunday wasn’t our best. Following your training tour and friendlies we were all confident on sunday but we were unfortunate to lose.
“Going into Thursday know that you can win and go ahead to become champions of this competition. Put Sunday’s games behind you and know that the nation has not given up on you”.
GFA President Kurt ES Okraku thanked the President and Government for its continuous support to our national team especially the Black Galaxies.
“As the number one fan of this team, the President of Ghana has supported this team and thats the reason this team had a very good camping period”
“Our sector minister and his deputy also ensured that this team never lacked. The presence of the Deputy Minister and the NSA Board Chairman tells us that Ghana is behind you throughout your hard work and the sacrifices you are making”, the GFA boss stated.
Thursday’s Group C game between Ghana and Sudan will be kick off at 8:00pm (7:00pm GMT).
