Former President John Mahama has urged Ghanaians to support the Black Stars ahead of the upcoming 2022 World Cup which will be held in Qatar.

Ghana will play a friendly game against Switzerland before flying to Doha, Qatar.

The Black Stars of Ghana is in Group H with South Korea, Portugal, and Uruguay. Ghana will start its World Cup campaign against Portugal on 24th November.

The former President speaking after Ghana FA presented Black Stars jerseys to him said football unites the country and we should all encourage the players to give their best on the world stage.

“I urge that all Ghanaians should rally behind the Black Stars. The Black Stars in the past united us and anytime the Stars were playing, there was no political affiliation or ethnic orientation as we all supported them,” he told GFA's delegation.

“Recently, it doesn’t seem to be the same and I urge that we put all political considerations aside and know that, that is our best national team and for the boys to have the kind of encouragement to give their best on the world stage,”
