President J.A. Kufuor has congratulated the ever-improving senior national team, the Black Stars for the sterling performance that saw Ghana qualify for the semi-finals, first time in twelve years, of the MTN Africa Cup of Nations.
In a message, President Kufuor lauded the phenomenal determination that characterised the play of the Team, even with the numerical disadvantage, they maintained their composure dominating the game and exhibiting superior tactical play that ensured that victory was beyond doubt, though it was a hard won one.
The President said the continuous victory of the Black Stars has invigorated the spirit of the nation, particularly the unparalleled display of patriotism, the great show of sportsmanship and the “Can Do It Attitude” which is necessary for the continuous success of the country.
“As you rededicate yourselves to mission “Host and Win” prepare yourselves for the battles ahead and be assured of the total support of my Government and the country,” the President added.
Meanwhile, President Kufuor, who cut short his international assignment last week to spend time with the Black Stars team, is due for Rome, Italy, this afternoon to address the Annual General Meeting of the World Food Programme.
