"It was always imperative for us to have a feel of the World Cup host before the Mundial next year. I would like to commend the President, Nana Akufo Addo, and the sector Mustapha Ussif (Hon.) for their support and commitment” he said this when Ghana’s Ambassador to Qatar Dr. Emmanuel Enos called on the team in Doha on Friday.

"Your Excellency, you have in front of you amazing and committed players who have been dedicated to our course from day one. Before I became the President, I never had the chance to work with the Black Stars but these players have demonstrated true commitment and professionalism ever since I have been with them."

"These boys have dedicated themselves to the national course and they believe it is time for us to break the 40-year wait for the AFCON trophy."

"Beyond here, we will be in Cameroon for the AFCON and hopefully all the day and nights of sacrifice will pay off in Cameroon. We will play Morocco, Gabon, and Comoros and we believe that we will top the group and go all the way to the final and win the trophy."

"We believe in the course to bring the trophy to Ghana. We are extremely happy for your coming. We will not let the country down. There are a lot of doubting Thomas’s but we believe this squad will make us proud," he added.
