My Black Stars journey did not end well, says 'sorry' Kevin Prince Boateng

Published on: 09 February 2023

Former Black Stars attacker, Kevin Prince Boateng has said he feels sorry about how his stay with the Ghana national team ended.

The former Barcelona and AC Milan midfielder became the fans' favourite after completing his nationality switch to play for the country.

Boateng was part of the Black Stars squad that played at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

However, he was thrown out of camp after clashing with Kwesi Appiah during the 2014 global showpiece in Brazil where the team exited at the group phase with just one point.

The 35-year-old hasn’t played for Ghana since having been banned from the national team by a Commission of Inquiry in the aftermath of the tournament in Brazil.

Speaking in an interview, the former Borussia Dortmund forward said never intended to bow out of the Black Stars because it was a good squad that had the potential to achieve something significant for Ghana.

He added that he was sorry for how he left the national team because he had great plans for the team but circumstances beyond his control prevented his return to the Black Stars.

“There were some reasons that didn’t work out how we wanted,” he told Oma Sports TV.

"There were some misunderstandings, I feel sorry it ended like this because after 2010 we could have built something very good because we had a great team,” the former Barcelona player said.

According to the player, he will always support the Black Stars and wish them the best in all they do.

“I wish the Black Stars nothing but the best and I will always be a fan,” he added.

Boateng made 15 appearances for the Black Stars from 2010 to 2015, registering two goals in that time.
