The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has taken careful note of statements made at the press briefing on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, by the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.

The Black Stars require the unflinching support of all Ghanaians as they prepare to navigate these important encounters. The unity and commitment of our supporters have always been the team’s greatest strength, and we urge the nation to keep this spirit alive.
Once the match against Mali is concluded, the GFA will make its comprehensive remarks regarding the Ministry’s statements.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all Ghanaians for their understanding and their continued support for the Black Stars and all our national teams.
