Ghana’s Sports Minister Kofi Adams seeks divine intervention for Black Stars ahead of World Cup
The pastor reportedly told him the team is “dead and in the mortuary.”
The congregation still went ahead and prayed for them.
Ghana's Minister for Sports and Recreation,Hon. Kofi Adams on Sunday visited the Believers Worship Center (Philadelphia Church) led by Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah.
The Sports Minister attended to seek spiritual blessings and prayers for the national football team, the Black Stars, as the team prepared for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
He told the congregation about the venues where Ghana will play, namely, Toronto, Boston and Philadelphia.
Minister Kofi Adams asked the congregation to pray for the team's victory, claiming they were relying on God to succeed despite public doubts.
Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah reportedly stated to the Minister that the national team was "dead and in the mortuary," but the congregation still offered prayers on their behalf. He expressed his joy that for the first time, a sports minister has visited the church.
The pastor who is popularly known as Philadelphia predicted glory for the national team of Ghana as Lazarus was delivered in the Bible.
The Sports and Recreation Minister’s visit has sparked mixed reactions. While some citizens appreciate spiritual backing, others argue that football matches are won through proper tactical discipline, hard work, and preparation on the pitch rather than spiritual interventions.

Black Stars Ananse Jerseys Curiosity
The National Football Team, The Black Stars have ourdoored the Ananse brand jersey in the USA, manufactured by Puma and definitely fans and critics will love to ask questions about the design, why and how?.
Ghanaians love the Black Stars and want to know much.
However we have known that Ananse (or Anansi) is the legendary spider-trickster from Akan folklore in Ghana. Known for his wit, cunning, and mischievousness, he is the central figure in traditional West African tales used to explain nature, share moral lessons, and celebrate how the clever outsmart the powerful.
Ananse's tales are not just about cleverness; they often serve as cautionary tales. His defining characteristics have heavily influenced culture well beyond West Africa.
So in a nutshell, the Black Stars must be like Ananse; clever, witty, cunning, worrisome. winsome, grounded, strong, and powerful.
All will depend on Coach Carlos Queiroz selection and the players character and charisma.
Let Ghana believe in the stars of Africa and they will deliver. Good luck to the Spidermen.
But unfortunately Ghana will not use the white spider jersey in the group stage matches.
Let's see what will happen if Ghana qualifies from the group stage.
