Accra 12 June 2014 - The Ghana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) via its President, Mr. Herbert Mensah, has expressed full support for the Ghana Black Stars in the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Despite the immense hardships at this time Mr. Mensah stressed it was a time for unity as a nation in support of the Black Stars. He extended a special voice of support for Mr. Kawsi Nyantakyi and asked him to extend a hand of support to the Black Stars Players and staff.
Mr. Mensah said, "In competitions of this nature results were invariably determined by preparation, the supporting cast, the love of the nation and focus and dedication of the players. Ghanaians are doing their part (ECG too i pray!) and we leave the rest to fate!"

He prayed that the collective spirit of the nation would help focus the players at this most historic of moments.
