Consider each game as the final- Glo

The Board and Management of Glo Mobile Ghana, official sponsors of the senior national team, the Black Stars, have sent a goodwill message to the players and technical handlers of the team in South Africa.

The telecommunications company urged the team to remain focused and treat each game as the final in order to emerge as the champions of the competition.

A statement signed by John Vasikaran, Head of Business at Glo Mobile Ghana Limited said, “having followed the performance of the Black Stars so far, Glo is delighted to observe that the team has now fully warmed itself up into the thick and thin of the tournament, as they demonstrated in the precision with which they dealt with the challenge from Niger.

“As a sponsor and supporter of the national team, we at Glo have taken note of the team’s strenuous preparations for this tournament and the gradual, but impressive buildup and revival of its winning spirit in the three matches they have played so far, we are left with no doubt at all that the Black Stars will bring home Ghana’s much awaited fifth African nations trophy”. The statement said.

It added that, “All we ask is that, as you enter the knock out stages of the tournament on Saturday, all players and the technical handlers remain focused on the big mission of annexing the Nations Cup for the fifth time; but in order to achieve this, it is important that you tackle each of the three remaining games as if it is the very final match of the tournament”.

Glo Mobile has sponsored the Ghana Black Stars since 2008 along with Ghana’s Premier League, of which the African telecommunications giant is the headline sponsor.

Glo only recently presented a cheque for over $2,000,000 (two million US dollars) to the Ghana Football Association in fulfillment of the company’s pledge to support the Black Stars and promote the development of football in Ghana.
