Is there any place in Ghana that could be compared to Kumasi when it comes to love, admiration, support and belief towards the Black Stars?
Oseikrom’s support for the Black Stars is so sensational and hence it is no surprise that it is 24 years and counting since Black Stars last tasted defeat at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Flashback to AFCON 2000 when Ghana co-hosted with their brothers and rivals Nigeria. Ghana reached the quarter-finals and lost to Siyambonga Nomvethe’s 42nd-minute strike. Ghana has never been beaten by any opponent in Kumasi since then.
Westham United’s forward Mohammed Kudus who played a crucial role in Ghana’s back-to-back wins has thanked Kumasi for the support they showed Black Stars on Monday night.
“Thank you Kumasi for showing us massive love,” wrote Star Boy Kudus on his X account.
The atmosphere in Kumasi last night in Ghana’s 4-3 win over the Central African Republic was electric as the supporters danced, jumped, clapped and cheered Otto Addo’s men on even when it was raining.
Ghana sits on top of Group I after winning three games in four.
