Ghana's communications minister has asked citizens to reconsider their opposition to foreign-born athletes seeking to play for the national soccer team. Felix Kwakye Ofosu said the country should avoid emotional decisions that could weaken the Black Stars after they qualified for the 2026 World Cup. Eddie Nketiah, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Francis Amuzu have expressed interest in representing Ghana.
Football Association president Kurt Okraku previously stated players who declined earlier invitations would not receive another chance. Kwakye Ofosu acknowledged some athletes rejected Ghana but said the squad needs strengthening in certain areas. The minister warned that rushed judgments might create problems for the team.
Ghana will face Japan and South Korea in friendly matches this November during an Asian tour. The Black Stars will learn their World Cup group opponents on December 5.
