Ghana's Minister of Youth and Sports is
optimistic about the Black Stars' chances of reaching the 2014 FIFA
World Cup finals in Brazil.
Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, speaking at the
opening of the Ghana Football Association's Ordinary Congress in
Prampram on Wednesday reiterated government’s readiness to support the
GFA as they prepare for the crucial second round World Cup qualifier
against Zambia next month.
The minister was hopeful that the
national team will edge Zambia to the final round qualifying place and
go on to make it a third consecutive appearance at the World Cup.
"The
Black Stars currently lead the Group (D) and therefore cannot
relinquish their one-point lead on a silver platter," the Minister said.
"Some
are saying we just need a point to qualify. Well, every qualification
is qualification but government will fulfill its end of the bargain to
ensure we win this game and the ones beyond".
"We are going to Brazil and not even Zambia can stop us."
The
Black Stars lead the standing in Group D and are one point better than
Zambia ahead of their last fixture at the Baba Yara Stadium on September
6.
