“There are about 2200 Ghanaian fans who are resident here. Majority of them will be at the stadium when we take on the Portuguese on Thursday. I am told there are about 1200 fans being flown in from Accra to Doha as well. So we are expecting not less than 2500 fans here,” he revealed.

Mr. Twum assured that the players have been psyched up enough to rub shoulders with renowned players like Ronaldo among others.

He also indicated that the players are poised to ride on their victory over Switzerland to give a good account of themselves in the tournament.

A former Communication Director of the GFA, Mr. Ibrahim Saani Darra who was also a panelist on The Probe urged Ghanaians to support the Black Stars, but warned that they, “should be cautiously confident in the team.
