President of the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Kurt Okraku has backed the Black Galaxies ahead of their second group game against Sudan, saying the entire country is behind the team.
Having suffered a 2-1 defeat against Madagascar in their Group C opener on Sunday, Ghana will face Sudan on Thursday at the Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium in Constantine.
The Black Galaxies must beat the Sudanese to progress to the next round of the tournament.
Speaking following the visitation of Deputy Minister of Youth & Sports Hon. Evans Bobie Opoku and Board Chairman of the National Sports Authority Hon. Seth Panwum at the team's hotel, Mr Okraku charged the team to go all out against Sudan, adding that they have the support of the entire country.
“As the number one fan of this team, the President of Ghana has supported this team and that's the reason this team had a very good camping period," said Mr Okraku.
“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," he added.
The game has been scheduled to kick off at 19:00GMT.
