Go on and play your hearts out, no team should intimidate you — Bawumia to Black Stars

Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, Vice President of the Republic of Ghana has sent an energising message to Ghana's Black Stars ahead of their games in the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

He urged them to give their all and produce positive results for themselves and the entire nation.

The Vice President encourages them not to fear any opponent in the tournament after an incredible football display in a video shared on his social media handles on Wednesday, November 23.

”I want to urge the Black Stars to go on and play their hearts out for mother Ghana. We can stand the world. We have done it before and can do it again,” the vice president said.

He urged, “They [Black Stars] should go out and emulate the historic deeds of their predecessors. God bless you all. We can do it. Go Ghana Go! Go Black Stars Go.

Ghana is set to lock horns with the Portuguese side on Thursday, November 24 in Doha at Stadium 974, in their first World Cup Group Stage campaign.

The Black Stars will move ahead to meet South Korea on Monday, November 28, and finally Uruguay on Friday, December 2.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars of Ghana are currently rated as the lowest-performing team among the 32 countries, at 61 on the FIFA world rankings for the tournament, followed by Saudi Arabia.

However, after an incredible performance against the Swiss national team in a friendly game on Thursday, November 17, where the Stars walked over their opponents by 2-0, many now have faith the team is ready to compete.
