The CEO of Gyata Cement announced a visit to the team's camp in Rhode Island on Thursday.

Ibrahim Mahama was part of a high-powered delegation led by Ghana's Ambassador to the United States, Victor Smith. Kofi Adams, the Sports Minister and the Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa, were also present.

Addressing the players and technical team, the businessman stated that he was impressed by what he had seen so far and promised to personally support the team.

According to Ibrahim Mahama, he stopped following football after Ghana's painful exit from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

However, the brother of President John Dramani Mahama explained that his son encouraged him to start paying attention to football again, and the current Black Stars team has reignited his interest in the game.

According to him, he would reward the Black Stars separately from the bonuses being paid by the government.

"Apart from the government's bonus, I have a special bonus. I have a much better bonus for you than the taxpayers," he said.
