President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku has challenged players of the Black Stars to step up and fight for the country.
He said this on Wednesday during a visit to the team ahead of their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations home qualifier against Sudan at the Cape Coast stadium.

“First, is to thank all of you for coming. Because we all know the circumstances that have confronted not only the world but ourselves as individuals. All of us as individuals had the option to stay away but you guys have decided to come for Ghana. Thank you.
“This journey started some months ago with the game against South Africa and we exited this premises as victors. Tomorrow all of us have an opportunity to continue with that success story.”
“I believe we have enough quality here, to make us proud tomorrow. I know you guys have sacrificed a lot but tomorrow is the day to show to the world that your sacrifice means a lot. It is possible and tomorrow let’s go onto the pitch and fight.
“We have no bullets, but we have our feet, we have our heads. Let’s go onto the pitch and fight and let’s make history together. Thank you so much. I wish you guys the best of luck and may Almighty God see us through tomorrow [Thursday],“ President Simeon-Okraku added.
