The Tamale paramount chief has promised spiritual support for Ghana’s Black Stars ahead of a game against Togo which Ghana needs to avoid a loss to qualify for AFCON 2015 in Equatorial Guinea.
The Gulkpe-Na, Alhaji Alhassan Abdulai, gave the assurance after donating a bull, 100 tubers of yam and 25 shinny smocks to the players who will be playing the last AFCON qualifying game in Tamale, Northern regional capital.
The Black Stars who will be playing in Tamale for only the second time, had visited the Tamale paramount chief to formally greet the Tamale chief on their national assignment.
In an atmosphere of charity, the players have also contributed monies to be given to two unnamed orphanages Tuesday morning, Saani Dara, GFA Communications Director, told myjoyonline.com
The mood in Tamale is set to get festive when the team trains at the Tamale Sports stadium at 5pm today.
Ghana needs at least a draw, Togo needs a win in this last qualifying encounter which will determine which two teams will make out of the group to join 14 other nations in Equatorial Guinea next January.
