President Akufo-Addo & others arrive in Qatar to motivate Black Stars ahead of Portugal game

The country’s first gentleman has touched down in Doha hours before the Black Stars first game in 2022 Fifa World Cup

Ghana president Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has arrived in Qatar ahead of Black Stars first game in 2022 Fifa World Cup on Thursday.

The president left Ghana on Wednesday evening with his entourage in a bid to motivate the Black Stars who face Portugal in Group H opening game on Thursday afternoon in Doha.

Upon his arrival, he was met by representatives from Qatar which included Director of the Protocol Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, H E Ibrahim bin Yousif Fakhro and the Ambassador of Ghana to Qatar Mohamed H E Noureddine Ismail.

Ghana are hoping to shock Portugal who are highly tipped as one of the favourites to win the World Cup as they have former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva of Manchester City fame among others in their setup.

Akufo-Addo will meet the players, technical team and officials this morning and tell them the importance of this game in the heat of global economic recession as Ghanaians back home are hoping to at least smile despite the economic hardship written all over their faces.

Meanwhile, about 500 supporters have landed in Qatar to team up with Ghanaians living in the country to support the Black Stars on Thursday.

The Black Stars will later face South Korea and Uruguay on November 28 and December 2 respectively to wrap up the group stage.

Ronaldo’s fight with Manchester United doesn’t affect Ghana – Andre Ayew

The Black Stars skipper believes the recent feud between the Portugal captain and his former club would not have a negative effect on the game

Ghana captain Andre Ayew has refuted suggestions that Portugal may struggle on Thursday when they face Black Stars in Group H opener of 2022 Fifa World Cup because of Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent outbursts on Manchester United.

Ronaldo recently blasted Manchester’s coach Erik Ten Haag as well as calling out the club owners as he feels there have been little or no improvement on and off the field since he left the club almost a decade ago.

The stance by Ronaldo has forced Manchester to mutually terminate his contract and the club owners – Glazer family have put the club up for sale.

‘Cristiano Ronaldo’s problem with Manchester United does not affect us [Ghana]. The Portugal team has players who are great professionals and have played for top teams so they will be ready for the game against Ghana. We are also ready for them.’
