Ghana's flag has a single black star in the middle of it - and that is where the team gets its name. The black star stands for the freedom and hope of African people. Wearing the badge on your shirt is a serious thing for a Ghanaian player.
Many of the world's best footballers have come from Ghana. Players like Abedi Pele, Asamoah Gyan, Michael Essien and Thomas Partey have played for huge clubs in England, Spain, Italy and beyond. They started out kicking a ball around dusty courtyards as children and ended up in the biggest stadiums in the world.
The Black Stars' most famous World Cup run was in 2010 in South Africa. They reached the quarter-finals - the last eight teams - which made them only the third African team in history to get that far. The whole continent of Africa was cheering for them.
Football in Ghana isn't just the national team. In every neighbourhood, in every village, kids gather to play after school. They make goals from stones or piles of jumpers. They play barefoot, in flip-flops, in school shoes. A football game can start anywhere there is a flat piece of ground and a ball.
