During a recent visit to the team’s training session, he admitted to feeling nervous about watching live matches but expressed his support for the team.
Mahama stated, “I will 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,” underscoring the nation’s support for the team.

In conclusion, President Mahama’s attendance at the Black Stars’ match represents significant support for the team.
