<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt was all joy as the lucky fans and staff of MTN, boarded an Emirates flight straight to Abidjan for the 10-day trip to support the national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was also the largest number of supporters MTN was sending to any tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gesture essentially served as a dream come true for many fans who would for the first time have the opportunity to be at the AFCON and cheer the gallant Black Stars on in all their three group matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have the quality to win the Afcon. Enough of the disappointment, they should bring back the love,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Kojo Shaddy, a student in Accra, the reactions at the stadium would make his trip after watching the same on television for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have never been to a stadium before.
