Uncertainty principle for non-commutative groups

Is it true that for every group $G$ and $f\in \mathbb C[G]$ it holds that $$\dim(\mathbb C[G]*f)\mathop{supp}(f)\geq |G| ?$$

Here, $\mathbb C[G]$ is the group algebra, and by $\mathbb C[G]*f$ I mean left ideal of the group algebra $\mathbb C[G]$ generated by $f$.

Essentially this is uncertainty principle for non-commutative groups. Since $supp \hat {f} = dim C[G]*f$ in case $G$ is abelian.
