The Black Stars of Ghana have arrived in Qatar in their elegant traditional wear called “Fugu” ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup scheduled to kick off on Sunday (20 November).
The team on Thursday beat Switzerland 2-0 in their last international friendly match.
Scores of Ghanaians lined up to welcome the Otto Addo-led side who are beaming with confidence ahead of their first match against Portugal on 24 November.
“The one who advised the Black Stars to dress in smock really deserves commendation,” Juliet Sokuu, an elated Ghanaian wrote on Facebook. “I am glad we are showcasing something beyond Kente and I pray it doesn’t stop here. We have so much diversity to offer. We have touched down in Qatar in elegance. The Black Stars are ready for the 2022 FIFA World Cup,” Michael Oti Adjei, a sports journalist also posted on Facebook.
