The gathering marked the official launch of the fundraising campaign, which aims to boost the morale of the players while ensuring they have the best possible preparation for the global stage.
“With the support of our corporate partners, private stakeholders, and international allies, we are confident that we can reach the $30 million target and give the Black Stars the resources they need to perform at their best,” said Nyarko Ampem.
