Hamburger SV forward, Ransford Yeboah Koniigsdoffer has expressed disappointment after he was left out of Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The 22-year-old who switched nationality from Germany to play for the West African country was named in the provisional squad for the tournament but was dropped from the final 26-man squad by Otto Addo.
Speaking in an interview, Konigsdoffer said although he felt sad about being dropped, he will work hard to earn a call-up in the next edition.
“I was very disappointed but I will do my best and when I don’t get a call-up I must train harder to do my best at the next World Cup tournament,” he told GhanaWeb.
He also revealed that he grew up watching the Black Stars play at many tournaments and wants to be able to represent the country at such tournaments as the AFCON and World Cup.
“I watch every tournament; I try to watch every time. The last African Cup wasn’t our best. For the World Cup our best was in 2010 when we got knocked out by Uruguay,” he added.
Ransford Yeboah Koniigsdoffer has been named in Black Stars squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Madagascar later this month.
He will also feature for the Black Meteors at the 2023 U-23 AFCON in Morocco.
