Maintain the harmony among yourselves - President Akufo Addo tells Black Satellites

Published on: 10 March 2021

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on the Black Satellites to maintain the relationship of brotherhood that they have built.

His comments come after the entire team paid a courtesy call on the Presidency on Tuesday at the Jubilee House to present their trophy.

Ghana's U-20 team defeated Uganda to lift the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations trophy in Mauritania with Daniel Afriyie Barnie scoring a brace.

“Ayekoo to the Black Satellites and to the technical and management team for the independence day gift. I look forward to receiving them at the Jubilee House later this afternoon. Hopefully, this should be the beginning of a new era of success for Ghanaian football,” he said earlier in the day, during his State of the Nation Address to Parliament.

Akufo Addo also urged the team to keep the performance up and to project bigger laurels in the future.

He also told them not to break the bond of brotherhood they had built from playing together and winning the African Championship.

"Thank you all very very much for coming. You are now a team of brothers. Maintain the brotherhood and the spirit of oneness among you," he said.
