She called on citizens to use the tournament as an opportunity to celebrate Ghanaian culture and national pride.

“Let us proudly wear Ghana, celebrate our heritage and promote the greatness of our nation through this World Cup,” she stated.

Dziwornu also stressed the importance of investing in sports development, saying long-term success depends on proper planning and nurturing talent.

“We must also emphasise that sporting success does not happen by chance or overnight, but through the right investments, planning and nurturing of talent,” she indicated.

Expressing optimism about the future of Ghanaian football, she added: “I firmly believe that Ghana will one day become the first African country to win the FIFA World Cup if the aforementioned measures are put in place.”
