Prior to the Black Stars’ 2026 World Cup qualifying match against the Central African Republic on Monday night, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Vice President of Ghana, visited the players and the team management.

At the Baba Yara Stadium, the four-time African champions take on the Central African Republic’s Wild Beast at 7:00 p.m.

However, the Vice President, who doubles as the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has inspired the players to perform well in their matchup with Central Africa Republic.

He was accompanied by the Sports Minister, Ussif Mustapha.

The entourage was received by the President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku and head coach of the Black Stars, Otto Addo.

“An incredible boost of support from the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, as he visits our team ahead of tonight’s game against Central African Republic” a post shared on the Black Stars platform on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Ghana’s group is widely open, with all teams having a fair chance after three rounds of matches. The four-time Africa champions are tied on six points with Madagascar and Comoros.

The aforementioned countries are closely followed by Mali with four points and the Central African Republic also with four points, while Chad is at the bottom with no points.

However, the Black Stars must ensure they secure maximum points over the Wild Beast on home turf to push them further on the standings in Group I.

As the match draws closer, fans are gearing up for what is expected to be a thrilling encounter. With the Baba Yara Stadium set to be filled to capacity, the atmosphere promises to be electric, providing the Black Stars with the support they need to secure victory.

A win for Ghana will see them claim nine points from their opening four games having lost to Comoros last year.
