“If you see the streets of Accra, there is no traffic, everybody is glued to the TV, listening to the radio and urging you (players) on.

So apart from the twenty four million supporters home, there are a number of supporters who are here in this country (South Africa) to provide you with support,” he inspired.

With a dazzling beam on the face of the Vice President whiles interacting with the team in camp, he assured them of their winning bonus.

We (Government) have brought everything and their lying comfortably in his (Omane Boamah) room. So at the end of the match, we know that victory will be yours, victory will be ours and he (Omane Boamah) will also do his part of the bargaining and as the FA President said, there are no frowning faces here, everybody is happy,” Amissah Arthur said.

He however tasked the players to make history since its overdue Ghana lift the prestigious cup of the continent.

“Thirty one year is a long time after all the exploit of the last two world cups and the great work that you did here in South Africa during the 2010 world cup. It is time for us to finish off all the sacrifices that you (Players) have made by bring the AFCON trophy to Accra and we (Government) are planning a fantastic welcome for you when you carry the cup to Accra,” he added.
