The GFA President has spoken. I\u2019m here to just also give you an assurance that the entire government is behind you,\u201d he told the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything that we are supposed to put in place, you can testify that we have done that beautifully.\u00a0 We took action when we had difficulties during your camp in Cape Coast to ensure that your stay there became very successful,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo, as you leave the shores of our country, be rest assured that we are with you. And you are not only going there to represent yourself, neither your family nor your community alone, you are representing the entire country. So, this should be at the back of your minds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you step on the pitch, you should look back and know that you are representing over 30 million Ghanaians. For every decision that you are going to take on the pitch, be aware that it is people\u2019s emotions and passions that you are representing, so you do your best to represent us well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll make sure we put everything in place in terms of logistics and finance. Just do your best to raise the flag of our dear country very high in Colombia. And like the President said, I\u2019ll be the happiest minister to come to Kotoka International Airport to receive you with the trophy. Go all out and make yourselves proud. Enjoy yourselves and enjoy the game and bring glory back home,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mustapha Ussif \u00a0 Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif paid a visit to the Black Princesses team ahead of their departure to Colombia for the FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup.
