Asantehene urges Black Stars to beat Comoros in today's World Cup qualifier
Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has urged the
Black Stars to beat Comoros today and advance to
the group stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup
qualifiers.

The Black Stars arrived in Kumasi on Sunday
morning and moved straight to the Manhyia Palace
to pay a courtesy call on the Asantehene before
going to their team hotel.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu welcomed the team to the Ashanti
Region and called on them to make up for last
Friday’s goalless draw in the first leg match
played in Moroni.

“Each time you go on the pitch, know that you
are representing all Ghanaians and that the
country has confidence in you. So you must go all
out for a convincing win on Tuesday and make the
entire nation proud”, the Asantehene told the
Black Stars on Sunday morning.

He further expressed optimism that the Black Stars
will make a fourth successive qualification to the
World Cup and hopefully win it this time around.

“We’ve been to the World Cup thrice and
hopefully this time around you will not only
qualify but we will go and win the trophy”, he
said.

The King of the Ashanti Kingdom also called on
soccer fans in Kumasi to throng the Baba Yara
Stadium and cheer the Black Stars to victory in
the all-important match.

On his part, Ghana skipper Asamoah Gyan thanked
the Asantehene for his words of advise and support
for the team over the years.

He reiterated the team’s commitment and
preparedness to win Tuesday’s game and make it
into the next stage of the qualifier to the next
stage of the qualifiers.
