Former Ghana FA spokesperson Saanie Daara refuses to back quota system for locally based players at Black Stars

Published on: 27 October 2022

Former Ghana FA spokesperson Ibrahim Sannie-Daara says the implementation of quota system for locally-based players into the national team will not create competition at the Black Stars.

Despite kicking against the quota system, the Senior CAF media officer was of the opinion the addition of one or two players will help improve the local league at large.

“For me, I’m into the quota system because it does not create competition for the team but out of strategy and for many other reasons, in my opinion, we should include one or two players in the Black Stars. At the World Cup stage, players who play including substitutes will be 15”

“Including one or two players in the Black Stars will also help the gravity of the local league. In my opinion, some local players making up the World Cup squad will let people know worldwide that there is something good in our league” he told Asempa FM monitored by Footballghana.com.

Meanwhile, the biggest soccer mundial has been scheduled for November and December this year, with 32 countries set to battle it out for the covetous trophy in Qatar.

Ghana has been housed in Group H at the mundial against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.

The West African powerhouse will open their World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 before taking on Uruguay and South Korea respectively.
