Otto Addo, the coach of Ghana’s national team, is calling upon Ghanaians to flood the Baba Yara Stadium and show unwavering support for the Black Stars in their crucial match against the Central African Republic on Monday.
Recalling the immense backing received during their previous showdown with Nigeria in the playoff final for the 2022 World Cup, Addo expressed deep appreciation and underscored the pivotal role played by passionate fans in driving the team to success.
“I was truly overwhelmed by the support we received last time we played here. It exceeded my expectations,” remarked Addo during a pre-match press conference on Sunday.
He emphasized the steadfast loyalty of the fans, emphasizing Kumasi’s consistent demonstration of support as a driving force for the team.
“Support should be unwavering, irrespective of the outcome, and Kumasi has consistently demonstrated this loyalty,” he added.
Recognizing the significance of playing in Kumasi, Addo envisaged it as a wellspring of extra motivation for the team, even in challenging circumstances.
“Even in challenging times, I have no doubt that our fans will stand by us,” he affirmed.
With Ghana currently holding the third spot in Group I standings, a triumph over the Central African Republic could temporarily propel them to the summit, paving the way for an electrifying showdown.
Set to commence at 19:00 GMT, Addo implores fans to pack the stadium and passionately rally behind the team to secure victory.
