Strasbourg striker Majeed Waris unperturbed by Black Stars opportunity again

Published on: 05 May 2020

Strasbourg striker Majeed Waris says he will not be worried if he does not get the opportunity to play for the Black Stars again.

Waris has not played for the senior national team after he was dropped from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) squad.

The 28-year-old was recently omitted from CK Akonnor’s 23-man squad for the 2021 AFCON qualification doubleheader against Sudan despite his great form with the Ligue 1 club.

According to the former Nantes striker, he has achieved something better for himself playing in Europe and wouldn’t care if he does not play for the Black Stars again.

"I can see that we have new people on board [in management] and I see that there are a lot of changes happening," Waris told Adom TV.

"I just hope that those changes will have a lot of positive impact in the team and in the nation as well.

"I remember the first time I played [for the Black Stars] before World Cup 2014 we played a match in Kumasi and you could see the way the people were happy. You can see there is love for football in Ghanaians.s

"I don’t care if they don’t call me back [to Black Stars] because I have achieved something good for myself personally in Europe but I think we just have to all help to bring back that love to the people and support the team so that we can achieve something as a nation," the former FC Porto striker shared.
