Barely 32 days to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Ghana have released a list of pre-World Cup activities which includes a ‘national day of fasting and prayer’ which has been generating reactions on social media.
The schedule was shared by the Ghanaian national football team, The Black Stars, via their official Twitter page, with a list of activities to be done ahead of the World Cup.
The national day of prayer and fasting is scheduled to hold on Friday, October 21 and Sunday, October 23 respectively, as announced on Twitter.
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.
The Black Stars will be facing Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Group H.
