The Black Stars appeared in one of Ghana’s traditional wears ‘Smock’ otherwise known as Fugu at the Hamad International Airport on Friday, November 18, ahead of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 finals.
The players were clad in beautiful smock and were met by officials of FIFA and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC).
Ghana will for the 4th time play in the FIFA World Cup following appearances in 2006 (Germany), 2010 (South Africa) and 2014 (Brazil).
The Black Stars will compete with Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay in Group H.
Why smock?
Ghana is a nation with a variety of cultural traits. Our geography primarily determines our culture.
The smock – Fugu – is a dress code attributed to the people of Northern Ghana. It is worn on solemn occasions and represents strength, courage, and leadership.
Today, Ghanaians wear the Fugu on a daily basis to harness its attributes. As a regal garment, leaders wear Fugu for battle. #StrengthCourageLeadership
