The first batch of over 300 Ghanaian supporters arrived home early yesterday morning after Ghana's ignominous World Cup exit in Brazil.
The contingent, comprising state officials, World Cup ambassadors, business executives, members of the various supporters groups and mediamen were aboard an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 chartered flight which touched at the Kotoka International Airport from Natal at exactly 6.50am.
The state officials included Felix Kwakye Ofosu, deputy minister of Information, the Ahwoi brothers -- Kwesi and Kwamina -- the Ghana National Petroleum Company Chief Executive, Alex Mould, among others.
The World Cup ambassadors included Jackie Appiah, John Dumelo, Becca, Ali Jaraa, Augustine Ahinful and Charles Kwabla (C.K.) Akonnor.
