A high-level government delegation, led by Hon. Mustapha, visited the Ghanaian football team to offer encouragement ahead of their crucial second group B match against Egypt. The visit aimed to instill confidence in the players following their disappointing opening game against Cape Verde.

Hon. Mustapha reassured the team of the country’s unwavering support, emphasizing that despite the setback in the first game, the government and the entire nation stand firmly behind them. The President’s directive brought senior cabinet members, including Hon. Asamoah Boateng, the Attorney General, and the Minister for Transport, to Abidjan to show solidarity.

With Ghana needing to avoid defeat against Egypt to enhance their chances of advancing to the second round in the Africa Cup of Nations Cote D’Ivoire 2023, the government’s visit underscores the significance of the upcoming match. The Félix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium in Abidjan will witness the showdown on Thursday, January 18th, 2024, with a kick-off scheduled for 20:00Hrs.
