Black Stars deputy captain Thomas Partey has called on government to provide good stadia in the country to bring out the best in the talented Black Stars players.

He made this plea when the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia paid a visit to the Black Stars team ahead of their 2026 World Cup qualifying game against Central Africa Republic later tonight.

Dr Bawumia led a delegation to visit the Black Stars camp ahead of their game against the Wild Beast. 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 Otto Addo.

“We are ready. We want to give our best tonight. I have one request, from all the players, we ask for a good stadium because we want to play better football,” he said.

Meanwhile, as a form of motivation, Dr Bawumia presented GHC500,000 during his visit to the team on Monday morning.

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.
