The team’s delegation was led by Medeama SC President and Black Stars Management Committee member Moses Armah. Also present were Ghana Football Association Executive Council member Samuel Aboabire and former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah, who both serve on the committee.
During the visit, Moses Armah thanked the Chief Imam for his continued support for the Black Stars and appealed for sustained prayers as the team prepares for the tournament. He also stressed the importance of unity, faith and national support as Ghana looks to make an impact on the global stage.
In response, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu assured the delegation of his full support and pledged nationwide prayers for the team’s success. He also announced that Friday’s Jumu’ah prayers across the country would be dedicated to the Black Stars, with regional Imams expected to include special prayers for the team in their congregations.
As part of the wider spiritual buildup, officials of the Black Stars Management Committee and the Ghana Football Association are expected to attend a special prayer session at the Central Mosque in Kawukudi on Friday, May 15, 2026. Ghana will open its World Cup campaign against Panama on June 17 before facing England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27.
