The Vice President of Ghana, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, has been captured in a joyful moment dancing following Ghana’s national team’s the Black Stars dramatic late winning goal against Panama on Wednesday.
The Black Stars secured a 1-0 victory in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after Caleb Yirenkyi scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner in the 95th minute from a Brandon Thomas-Asante assist.
In a viral video, Prof Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, who was at the BMO Field supporting the Black Stars, was captured dancing like it was nobody’s business.
Ghana’s vice president was so joyful, like any mother was in a joyful mood after seeing her children achieve great success on the biggest stage of football.
Following Ghana’s dramatic late-winning goal, Prof Jane Naana was on her feet, with her hands up, making some dancing moves beautifully.
Earlier, the Vice President, before the game, visited the players at their team hotel to wish them well.
The Vice President assured that the whole country is behind them, urging the Black Stars to play as a united team.
Speaking after she led a delegation of high-profile Ghanaians to visit the team’s camp in Toronto, Canada, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang stated,” Ghana is rooting for you, regardless of where you are, whether in the diaspora, on farms, or at home. The whole country is behind you”.
“We know you are doing well, and we know you will excel. I want you to go even higher. Every mother will want their child to be the best they can be and even excel when they think they have reached their goal. So we are here to encourage you to do more,” she said.
“You heard about the term group work, and I think that is part of the cooperation in sports. Regardless of what your strength is, you become even stronger when you play with somebody else. If in the process, you make someone else even stronger, we succeed even more,” she added.
Meanwhile, Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has praised his players for their determination and resilience.
Speaking on the Black Stars’ performance, Queiroz said the players demonstrated the commitment required to succeed.
Carlos Queiroz stated, “The players fought like warriors. To win at this level, you must sacrifice. A win at this World Cup is very expensive”.
“We battled like warriors and came back and won with brains,” Queiroz stated.
Also, Antoine Semenyo has insisted the Black Stars will not allow their opening World Cup victory to breed complacency.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo stated, “We know it’s going to be a tough game,” he said.
“We feel like we’re not going to get ahead of ourselves. We know we want to win that game. But we know it’s not going to be easy.
“So we have to make sure we recover well and make sure we train well leading up to that weekend.”
