Former captain of the Black Stars Stephen Appiah has urged the team to ‘silent noisy neighbours’ Nigeria in the World Cup playoff in Kumasi on Friday.
The West African giants renew their rivalry tonight for a place at the World Cup in Qatar later this year.
Ghana goes into the game as underdogs following their poor display at the Africa Cup of Nations but Appiah believes the team can redeem themselves by beating the the Super Eagles.
“Once again the time to add up to our long list of football achievements and silent our noisy neighbours is here again. Remember all you need to achieve this is perseverance, self-belief, dedication and team work. Go for the Gold… For the whole nation is behind you,” he posted on Twitter.
The Black Stars will face Nigeria in the first leg of the World Cup playoff at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
The team will leave Kumasi on Saturday via a chattered flight to Abuja where the second leg of the mouthwatering clash will be played.
The Mashood Abiola stadium will host the Black Stars on March 29.
Nigeria are hoping to make it a seventh appearance at the global showpiece while Ghana are chasing a fourth World Cup after missing the 2018 edition in Russia.
