Kurt Okraku spoke to the team, inspiring them to go out there and make history for the country.

"It's been many weeks of hard work, waiting and you all dreaming of playing at the highest level of football in your category. Now the waiting is over, it's time to be very focused for the last leg," he said.

"As you leave Ghana for France to continue the long journey to Costa Rica. I am sure it is a journey each of you have been waiting for," he added.
