Accra, June 24 --- Prince Al-Waleed Abdul Aziz Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia has donated $100,000 to Ghana's senior national team, Black Stars, for their spectacular performance in the World Cup match against the US.

The Black Stars won the encounter 2-1 to be placed second in Group E behind Italy and progressed to the last 16 of the quadrennial competition.

The Saudi prince made the presentation during a telephone call to President John Agyekum Kufuor after the match to congratulate him on the Stars' historic victory, said a statement signed by Andrew Awuni, press secretary to the president.

The Saudi prince said he has followed the performance of the Black Stars at the tournament and wished to show his appreciation for the pride they had brought to Ghana and Africa, the statement said.

You're right it's good to be recognised that way

Sometimes, these Arabs annoy me.

I hope he didn't donate the money because of Pantsil's acction cos that would be childsih to say the least.
BTW, the money is too small.

@ highlighted...I thought the same o. For no reason he decided to donate money to black stars for beating the USA. Some Arabs as usual do not know when to let a matter go. The money might be a small amount but it can be used to help the poor in Ghana. If I were a member of the black stars, I will accept the money but use it for the poor. This way, I will be sending an indirect message to the Prince and still at the same time being diplomatic.

...Just what we need. People just can't get over their hatred for everything that represents America. I wonder where this 'philantrophist' was before the World Cup and how come he didn't 'support' them for whupping czech...

Audrey, I do not have any Arab connections but just want to thank the prince for doing good. We should appreciate it when someone does something good. Or is it a bad thing? The money is going into the pockets of our fellow african brothers and we should be thankful to the man. I am not one of those brainwashed to the core to despise good people. Let us all try to be like Nelson Mandela. That will be bring respect and dignity to africans and africa!!!

If na true; d money go do ghana FA some good sha
