The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Black Stars have thanked supporters in Takoradi for the atmosphere they created during Thursday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Somalia.
A lively crowd at Sekondi Sports Stadium backed Ghana throughout the match as the Black Stars secured a 2-0 victory their first win of the qualifying campaign.
The GFA said the support, both in the streets and inside the stadium, was felt by the players, technical team and officials, describing it as a significant home advantage.
Ghana expressed its appreciation to the people of Takoradi for standing behind the team in what was a must-win match and for demonstrating the strength of Ghanaian football support.
However, the Black Stars’ qualifying campaign will continue on Monday, November 16, 2026, when they face Somalia again in the return fixture.
The GFA has called on supporters in Takoradi and beyond to attend in large numbers, wearing their national colours and bringing the same energy and passion that helped inspire Thursday’s victory.
“Let’s fill the stadium again. Let’s push the Black Stars to another victory,” the GFA said in a message issued by GFA Communications.
