During his visit, President Mahama assured the team and technical staff of the nation’s unwavering support, emphasizing the importance of unity and teamwork. The Black Stars are set to face Chad on March 21 and Madagascar on March 24. Their performance in these upcoming matches will be vital for securing a spot at the 2026 World Cup.
