“Dear Blackstars, I wish you all the best as you embark on this incredible opportunity to prove your worth. Remember, football is Ghana’s pride, and the world is watching. Please, don’t let us down. May God be with you all,” he wrote.

His message comes at a time when excitement is building ahead of Ghana's participation in the World Cup, with the team having finalized its 26-man squad for the tournament. The Black Stars are expected to carry the hopes of a nation eager to see a return to the glory days of past World Cup campaigns.

Sonnie Badu's remarks have resonated with many football fans, who took to social media to echo his sentiments and wish the team success in the competition.

The gospel singer's post also reflects the deep emotional connection Ghanaians have with the national team. Despite varying opinions about the squad and the country's chances at the tournament, support for the Black Stars remains strong as they prepare to represent Ghana on the global stage.

Interestingly, Ghana's wait for a first victory since October 2025 continued on Tuesday night after Wales struck deep into stoppage time to secure a dramatic 1-1 draw at Cardiff City Stadium, extending the Black Stars' winless run to six matches ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
