Black Stars took the Ghanaian tradition to the rest of the world as they arrived in Qatar for the World Cup with each member of the squad donning a traditional smock.
The four-time African champions landed in Qatar on Friday evening, a day after their morale-boosting 2-0 win against Switzerland in a pre-World Cup friendly match played in Abu Dhabi.
Rather than the usual suits and cardigans, the West African decided to travel to Qatar in locally produced but valuable clothing.
