According to Okraku, the financial backing has given the senior national team fresh motivation and belief as they push to secure a spot at the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe motivation that comes with MTN\u2019s support cannot be underestimated.
