His direct remark came in the wake of the US lifting the visa restriction placed on Ghana. The announcement was made by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Ghana's Minister for Foreign Affairs, where he disclosed that Ghanaians are now eligible to apply for five-year multiple-entry US visas.
The Black Stars' fan, however, made it clear that his plan, along with his colleagues', is not an attempt to illegally immigrate but is solely for the purpose of supporting their national team, the Ghana Black Stars.
He emphasised that their only goal is to cheer their team on to victory and 'bring the cup to Ghana.'
He concluded with optimism, stating that the team will be given the perfect moment to prove their strength in the next game.
The Ghanaian man believes that the Black Stars' matches will be held in the US. However, the specific dates and locations will not be made public until after the official draw, which is expected to be held in December 2025.
