President Mahama played an important role in the Black Stars’ recent wins over CHAD & Madagascar – Berekum West Member of Parliament (MP), Dickson Kyere Duah
Berekum West Member of Parliament (MP), Dickson Kyere Duah, highlighted the significant contribution of President John Dramani Mahama in the Black Stars’ recent victories against Chad and Madagascar in their 2026 World Cup qualifying matches.
Kyere Duah’s comments came after Ghana’s impressive performance on the international stage, with the Black Stars securing important wins over their counterparts from Chad and Madagascar, pushing them one step closer to qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The victories were seen as a reflection of the team’s resilience, determination, and tactical prowess, but the MP believes that the moral support and inspiration provided by the former president played a key role in their success.
According to Kyere Duah, Mahama’s involvement in the team’s preparation and morale-boosting efforts was invaluable. He recounted how the former president personally visited the Black Stars during their training sessions ahead of the crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying games. “Did you see the former President visit the Black Stars players at training when they were preparing for the games in 2024?
The MP stressed that such gestures of encouragement from a national leader helped to reignite the team’s fighting spirit, especially during the demanding qualification process. While the Black Stars’ technical team and players deserve credit for their efforts, Kyere Duah acknowledged that the backing from influential figures like Mahama could not be overstated.
President Mahama, known for his passion for sports, has always been a staunch supporter of the Black Stars, and his presence at critical moments has often been a source of motivation. His visit to the training ground before the crucial encounters with Chad and Madagascar demonstrated his commitment to the success of Ghana’s national football team, inspiring players to perform at their best when representing the country on the world stage.
Kyere Duah’s remarks underscore the importance of unity and support within the country, especially when it comes to national pride. In his view, having leaders who actively engage with and support the national team, particularly during high-stakes moments, fosters a sense of national solidarity that can propel athletes to excel.
The Black Stars’ recent victories in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers have not only lifted the spirits of Ghanaians but also strengthened the country’s footballing aspirations.
