President John Dramani Mahama has expressed optimism that the Black Stars will secure victory over Croatia in their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup Group L encounter on Saturday, June 27.
The President made the remarks during his Resetting Ghana Citizen Engagement at Apam Junction, where he rallied support for the national team ahead of the highly anticipated fixture.
Addressing the gathering, President Mahama said the enthusiasm displayed by supporters waving the Ghanaian flag was a sign of confidence and victory, expressing hope that the Black Stars would emerge triumphant.
“The waving of the Ghana flag by people here shows victory. We’re praying, God willing, today, we will defeat Croatia in the match,” he said.
The Black Stars head into the match looking to build on an impressive start to their World Cup campaign. Ghana opened the tournament with a victory over Panama before earning a hard-fought goalless draw against England on Tuesday, June 23.
A victory over Croatia would move Ghana to the top of Group L and secure qualification to the next stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
