FIFA U-20 World Cup: How Prophet TB Joshua Gave Us Victory in Egypt – Gladson Awako

Alex Olise/

Gladson Awako, a prominent member of Ghana’s 2009 U-20 World Cup-winning team, has told how the General Overseer of Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet TB Joshua, gave the squad victory in Egypt.

Ghana became the first country to conquer the continent and the world to win the U-20 World Cup.

After a difficult start of the tournament, Sellas Tetteh and his boys made the cut to the finals and faced the tournament’s favourite, Brazil.

However, Ghana defeated the South American side 4-3 on penalties with Emmanuel Agyemang Badu scoring the winning goal.

According to the Great Olympics skipper, TB Joshua told them everything about the tournament and it exactly came to pass.

Awako revealed that a man spoke to the entire team but did not know the person until the end of the tournament.

“During the U-20 World Cup in Egypt in 2009, we normally gathered around the centre to pray,” Awako said in an interview with YAC Media Production via Instagram Live.

“The coach usually made us speak to a man on phone. He will put the phone on loudspeaker so we could all hear and then pray and do what he says.

“Most of the things he said came to pass especially the final. He predicted that we will get an early red card and also told us how we will arrange the penalty takers. All that came to pass.

“Honestly, I didn’t know who it was until we won the cup and they told us the man was TB Joshua,’ he added.
