Sacrifice for the nation when selected for Black Stars – Asante Twum to Ghanaian players

Published on: 10 March 2023

The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum has advised Ghanaian players to always give over 100% to the national team when given the chance to play.

According to him, this will ensure the country honours them.

“They (Black Stars players) know that anything they do on the field of play, Ghanaians are watching because they are ambassadors.

“When you are selected among the final 26 or 25 players for a competition, it does not make you exceptionally talented over others but because it's on merit,” Henry Asante Twum said in an interview with Akoma FM.

The GFA communications director added, “There are other players who ordinarily would have had the opportunity but missed out due to limited places.

“So when allowed to wear the colours of Ghana, you must wholeheartedly play and sacrifice for the nation, and by so doing, the country will honor you.”

The advise comes after new Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton named his Ghana squad for the Angola games in the 2023 AFCN qualifiers.

Ghana later this month will play Angola on March 23 and March 27.
