The long awaited 2014 World Cup tournament is here with us and the Black Stars are in Brazil to make us proud.<\/p>\n

Over 7,000 Ghanaian fans will be virtually represented at the 2014 World Cup tournament in Brazil through one giant Ghana flag; the Flag of Vim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This has been made possible through the Flag of Vim<\/strong> campaign which gave Ghanaians the opportunity to show their unflinching support for the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

The 8×100 feet Ghana flag was officially handed over the Millennium Supporters Union of Ghana (MISUGHA) on Monday as directed by the Youth & Sports Minister, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah for the group to be the custodians of the flag in Brazil.<\/p>\n

They are to display it for the world to see anytime Ghana is billed to play.<\/p>\n

The Flag of Vim<\/strong> went round collecting signatures and goodwill messages of Ghanaians and some non-Ghanaians from all walks of life as a means of displaying their patriotism and faith in the senior national team who are making their third appearance at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The Flag of Vim<\/strong> campaign was well received as many considered it a novel idea and lauded the campaign team for taking the initiative.<\/p>\n

People were eager to sign onto it to be represented due to their inability to physically travel to Brazil to witness the tournament.<\/p>\n

According to Lym Haus Solutions, the rationale behind the campaign was to give Ghana the chance to have an overwhelming presence in Brazil through the signatures.<\/p>\n

The sole aim is for the flag to invoke in the Stars, the faith of a nation and the hope of a people as it hangs in the stadium.<\/p>\n

Media houses including, Citi FM, Metro TV, Multi TV, TV3, Choice FM, Radio XYZ, Asempa FM, Live FM, Nhyira FM, Goal.com, and celebrity blogger, Ameyaw Debrah<\/em> all pitched in to get the message out there.<\/p>\n

The Flag of Vim campaign is a Lym Haus Solutions initiative; a leading creative communications company in Ghana.<\/p>\n
