National day of fasting and prayer for Black Stars ahead of World Cup begins today

Today marks the commencement of a ‘national day of fasting and prayer’ for the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

This forms part of their pre-World Cup activities. Two dates have been set aside for Ghanaians to fast and pray for the senior national ahead of the global showpiece regardless of their faith.

Friday, October 21 is the day selected for Islam as Ghanaian Muslims are encouraged to fast and pray within the confines of their religion for the national team.

Sunday, October 23 is the day earmarked for the Christians who are also expected to do the same, fasting and praying for the Black Stars ahead of their FIFA World Cup adventure.

Ghana secured qualification at the expense of their arch-rivals Nigeria in the final World Cup play-off.

Ghana will face Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea in Group H of the global showpiece which takes place between November 21 and December 18, 2022.

Black Stars will take on Switzerland in another preparatory game on November 17, seven days before their opening game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup against Portugal.

Black Stars, who make a return to the tournament after missing out on the 2018 edition in Russia take on Portugal in their first game in Group H before facing South Korea and Uruguay in a repeat of the 2010 World Cup quarter-final.
