Prof. Boateng said the team's performance has clearly shown that with resilience of character, determination and assiduity, a united team can overcome huge obstacles.

"When you set off for the Angola campaign, very few Ghanaians gave you any chance because of injuries to the better known Stars among you. But you have proved that the nation can always rise to the occasion in such difficult situations".
