“All those boys who were outside and rejected attempts to play for Ghana, they [the Black Stars technical team] shouldn't add them,” he warned.

Prophet Testimony urged the coaching staff to maintain the same core of players who featured during the qualifiers, stressing that unity and continuity would be vital for success in North America.

He explained that Ghana’s participation in the tournament carried spiritual significance beyond football, suggesting that the team’s performance would bring blessings and favour upon the nation.

He specifically mentioned Eddie Nketiah and Callum Hudson-Odoi, advising the technical team to be prayerful and discerning in their decisions.

“Nketiah, Hudson-Odoi, and the others - they shouldn't add anybody. They should go with the same squad if they want to go far,” he cautioned.

He continued:

“If they bring anybody who didn't play a part in the qualifiers, they will break every prophetic realm they have entered. So don't bring them. If they want to join after the World Cup, that will be better. This is a prophetic caution to the nation; all those boys should not be added to the squad.”

“This World Cup will open up Ghana to the globe, and it will be a shining light for Ghanaians. Because of that, doors will open. It is not about the action on the pitch, rather the competition is a medium God wants to use to bless the name Ghana.”
