Vice Chairman of the Black Stars Management Committee, Stephen Appiah has backed the senior national team to go for the win against Madagascar in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana, who are seeking to play at the Mundial for the fifth time will be hosted by the Barea at the Al Hoceima Grand Stadium tonight.
After a comfortable 5-0 win against bottom-place Chad last week Friday, the Black Stars will be aiming to build on their momentum.
However, ahead of the game, Appiah, who captained the team to the 2006 and 2010 World Cups in Germany and South Africa respectively has challenged the players to approach the game with the utmost seriousness.
“You know that the game we played against Chad is going to be different from the one we are going to play against Madagascar because they have a different style of play, they will come with different strengths so it’s not going to be the same,” he said.
“So you people should tune your mind towards the game, we are talking about the World Cup. Most of you were in Qatar [and] after the World Cup you went to your clubs and you were different.
“Were all experienced it in 2006, even those who didn’t play, those who were on the bench, after the World Cup they all got contracts in Europe so those who are playing in Europe, you sacrifice for those who are playing in Ghana.
“We believe in you and we know that you guys are going to do it,” he added.
The much-anticipated game has been scheduled to kick off at 19:00 GMT.
