The Black Stars of Ghana announced their arrival in Qatar in grand style in Qatar with the players and technical team wearing traditional smocks from the northern part of Ghana.
The beautifully designed is worn on solemn special occasions and represents strength, courage, and leadership.
The smock is also worn by warriors. How the hat is positioned on the head communicates the occasion - whether for battle or a solemn event.
Andre Ayew displayed his symbolic hat to show the world his readiness for the battle ahead. This is seen by the uprightness of the hat on the captain's head.
It symbolizes that he is the leader of the team which is in accordance with the tradition of Dagombas and the Northern region at large.
