During a visit to the team’s training session, he conveyed his excitement and nervousness about watching live football, while affirming his support for the team.

Mahama articulated, “I’ll take time off and watch the game myself. Even though my heart is not very good at watching soccer, I will brave it. They say I should eat before I go and sit down. And my hope is that you would justify my sitting and watching you guys. The whole of Ghana is going to be behind you, and I’m sure that you can make it.” He further promised to work closely with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to create a conducive environment for the Black Stars and all other junior teams.

This event marks a significant moment as it will be the first time in recent years that an incumbent president has attended a Black Stars match at the Accra Sports Stadium.

In summary, President John Dramani Mahama’s attendance at the Black Stars match against Chad underscores his support for the national football team. His commitment to fostering a supportive atmosphere reflects a broader aim to enhance the performance of various national teams.
