President Akufo-Addo paid a visit to the players at the Black Stars team hotel. He spoke to the technical team, Ghana Football Association officials and encouraged the players.
"Football is now a business and if you are a supporter and you want to follow it you have to follow it well. Sometimes you can lose a match, draw or lose but all the same you as the supporter and team owner you should not give up," he said on Peace FM as monitored by footballghana.com
