President Akufo-Addo has called on the national team, the Black Stars to use the last group match game in the World Cup against Uruguay as revenge.
While commending the team for their outstanding performance against South Korea by securing a 3-2 win, President Akufo-Addo also urged the gallant men to ensure victory over Uruguay at all costs.
Ghana lost to Uruguay in 2010 during the South Africa World Cup after a controversial hand touch by Luiz Suarez of the ball to deny Ghana’s goal after the referee rather whistled for a penalty.
Ghana’s then-captain Asamoah Gyan subsequently failed to score from the penalty kick leading to the team’s exit.
In a Facebook post, the President wrote “Kudos to the Black Stars. Hard fought, but thoroughly well-deserved victory against South Korea. Proud of the entire team and the unalloyed support is given to them by all Ghanaians. Now to the final group stage (REVENGE) match against Uruguay”.
