Ex-President of Ghana, His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor is highly optimistic Black Stars will do well at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Ghana will begin their World Cup campaign against Portugal on Thursday, November 24 before taking on South Korea and Uruguay in the other Group matches.
Black Stars will play Switzerland in an International friendly on November 17, before travelling to Qatar for the World Cup.
"I don’t remember being given a strip like this even in 2006, even though I followed the team when we played our first game against Italy," Agyekum Kufuor said as quoted by ghanafa.org.
"We performed so well and our only trouble was suffering from stage fright and we could have won against Italy that eventually became champions of the world. We did well by beating the Americans and the Czech Republic.
He added, "I support the Black Stars and I give the team all the blessings. I can pray for the team to win and perform to the honour of our nation."
"I believe the boys can do it, they have exposure internationally and so stage fright should not be part of this tournament. What is left is for our side to play as a team’’. A lot of times we tend to be selfish with our play so how we get the team to think together on the pitch, how we pass towards goal and to have the strength."
