The president of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, and Vice President Mark Addo welcomed the President to the gathering.

Stonebwoy, an Afropop and dancehall artist, entertained guests with performances, adding to the festive atmosphere.
President Akufo-Addo encouraged the players to believe in themselves, emphasising the possibility of achieving the long-awaited dream of securing an AFCON trophy for Ghana.
The Black Stars concluded their pre-tournament camp in Kumasi with a goalless draw against Namibia.
