"I entreat the President and the entire Ghana Football Association, especially the officiating staff, to be fair, firm, and friendly to both teams to ensure an incident-free match.
At the end of the day, whoever wins, wins for Ghana; but I can assure you the Army Ladies are bringing the trophy here for my blessings," he said enthusiastically.
He further encouraged the Army Ladies to exceed their previous performances and honor the Army by winning the match and bringing the prestigious trophy to the Army Headquarters.
