President John Dramani Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has stated that he will watch the Black Stars match against Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
According to him, he has been advised by close friends to eat before the game commences to avoid any discomfort in the event of a defeat.
The president acknowledged that he finds it challenging to watch football games due to their unpredictability and the twists involved.
During a visit to the team on March 19, 2025, President Mahama urged the Black Stars players to win against Chad and make the entire nation proud.
“I will take time off and watch the game myself, even though my heart is not very good at watching soccer. I will brave it, as they have told me to eat before watching the game.
“My hope is that you will justify my sitting and watching you guys. The whole of Ghana is going to be behind you, and I am sure that you can make it,” he said.
The Black Stars will face Chad on March 21, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium before facing Madagascar in an away fixture on March 24, 2025.
A win in both games will put Ghana in a better position to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup to be hosted in Mexico, Canada and the United States of America.
