Ghana’s Ambassador to Morocco, H.E. Samuel Jojo Effah-Broni has told the Black Meteors team to bring honour to the nation at the 2023 CAF U-23 Championship in Morocco this month.
The team was motivated by the Ambassador to do more at the competition as he used Ghana’s past records in the competition to ginger the players as they prepare to face the rest of Africa for a place at the 2024 Olympic games in Paris, France.
“I attended the draw for the U23 African Cup of Nations a month ago, as it was an important event. The Moroccans are taking the tournament very seriously and are wary of Ghana. I want you to rise to the occasion,” said Ambassador Effah-Broni.
“Just as you excelled in Algeria, we believe you will perform even better here. The President is determined to see you reach the highest standards. Sports is a form of diplomacy, and you are carrying the Ghanaian flag, so your performance must be exceptional.”
“The President has asked me to convey that Ghana is the torchbearer of football in Africa, and we expect you to perform accordingly. We trust you, considering the caliber of players we have here. I have witnessed the capabilities of players like Barnieh and what they can achieve.”
“Remember that you represent the 31 million Ghanaians, and we all anticipate a stellar performance from you. We will support you, and you should not be bothered by any form of intimidation.”
Ambassador Effah-Broni concluded, “We were the first to win a bronze medal at the Olympic Games, so I believe this team can do even better. Play your game and enjoy the tournament.”
