Sports Minister Kofi Adams has sparked reactions on social media following his visit to the Philadelphia Church as part of efforts to support the Black Stars ahead of their World Cup preparations.
The visit quickly became a talking point among football fans, with some humorously suggesting that the minister had gone to secure some “sobolo” for the Black Stars’ strikers to help them find the back of the net more often during the tournament.
However, the purpose of the visit was to seek prayers and spiritual guidance for Ghana’s senior national team as they prepare for the global showpiece. The minister’s gesture reflects the importance many Ghanaians place on faith and divine support in national endeavours, particularly in sports.
The Black Stars are expected to step up their preparations in the coming weeks as they aim to make a strong impression on the world stage and improve on their previous World Cup performances.
While attention remains focused on the team’s tactical and technical readiness, fans are hopeful that the combination of hard work, determination and spiritual backing will help the Black Stars rediscover their scoring touch when it matters most.
