Speaking on JoyNews, Kofi Adams stated, “I think the energy level is quite high. If you observe, even when the chief arrived in the United States at that late point, the number of Ghanaians who were at the airport and at the hotel to welcome them should tell you one thing: that Ghanaians in America are ready for the team.”
“Ghanaians in Canada are ready, and Ghanaians even in Europe are planning to travel that far to also go and watch on their own, and the energy is building up also in Accra here and beyond.”
“In terms of preparation of funds, whether you are talking about Ghanaians in diaspora or Africans in diaspora generally, they are yearning to be behind Ghana, and so I must say that many things are falling in place for us.”
“That is why I say that this World Cup, you may think that we don’t have the stars, but let me tell you that we have a team that has a certain spirit behind them that will take us very far.”
“Just analyse and look at even the draws that we did. Look at the positioning of the cities that we got. These are cities that are heavily loaded with Ghanaians.”
“If you go to Canada, you will all know that Toronto has a huge black population; Ghanaians are there; we didn’t choose it”, he added.
