Musician Sista Afia says she would be seeking God’s mercies for the national team, Black Stars, ahead of the 2022 World Cup tournament.
In a post on Twitter, the singer said she would embark on a two-week fasting and prayer session for the Black stars.
“Fasting for the black stars for two weeks before the World Cup," Sista Afia wrote.
Fasting for the black stars for two weeks before the World Cup 🙏

This comes after the Ghana Football Association announced national fasting and prayer dates for both the Christian and Muslim communities in the country.
Muslims were expected to fast and pray on Friday, October 21. The Christian community will hold their national fasting and prayer on Sunday, October 23.
