There were several Ghanaian supporters at the stadium to support the Black Stars, even though the game ended in a goalless draw.
The Ghanaian government earlier indicated that it would not fly supporters from Ghana abroad to cheer the Black Stars.
President John Dramani Mahama indicated that the government would rather buy match tickets for Ghanaians living in the US and other host countries to watch the games.
However, some Ghanaians left the country to support the Black Stars abroad. One of such persons is Obour.
Obour stranded at Boston Stadium
The staunch supporter of the Ghana Black Stars, Obour, said he got to the stadium and was not allowed to enter due to ticketing issues.
Obour was disappointed and complained about the treatment he had received and described it as his worst.
"When I was entering, they said I didn’t have a ticket. I should have stayed in Ghana. Nobody treats me this way in Ghana."
Obour is a football supporter who carries a clay pot with the Ghana flag on it. He is often dressed like a traditional priest with his rafia skirt in the colours of the flag of Ghana.
He also smears a white substance all over his body, including on his shaved head.
