Otto Addo has done his part. The Black Stars’ technical team has named 24 players ready to wear the national colours and fight for Ghana’s place at the World Cup.

But selection is only the beginning. Success on the road to qualification is never secured by the players alone; it takes a united nation.

This is the moment for every stakeholder to rise.

The players and coaches must give their all on the pitch. Their discipline, focus, and teamwork will shape results. But even the best prepared squad can falter without the right support system behind them.

The Black Stars Management Committee has a duty to clear every distraction. Prompt arrangements, transparent communication, and a professional approach to player welfare must be guaranteed. Off-field confusion has cost us in the past, and this time, it cannot be allowed.

The National Sports Authority and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation must back the team with resources, logistics, and infrastructure that meet the highest standard. Travel, training, and medical support- these details matter. If they are handled right, players can concentrate on what they do best, which is winning.

The supporters, both at home and abroad, are the team’s heartbeat. Our chants, songs, and unwavering belief inspire the Black Stars in their most difficult moments. Criticism has its place, but destructive negativity weakens morale. At this stage, unity and passion are our greatest weapons.

The media and serial callers also carry influence. Every word, headline, and broadcast has power. Responsible journalism can lift the nation’s spirit and fuel confidence, while careless commentary can divide and demoralise. Let us choose words that push the team forward.

At stake is not just qualification. It is Ghana’s identity, pride, and place among football’s elite. The World Cup is where the world watches, and Ghana must be there not only for the players, but for every citizen who dreams of seeing the flag fly on football’s grandest stage.

Otto Addo and his men have answered the call. Now it is up to all of us, the institutions, the officials, the journalists, the fans to also rally behind them. This is not just a football campaign; it is a national project.

If we move as one, Ghana will not only qualify we will make a statement to the world.
