We didn't have anything in the Black Stars- Joe Addo

Published on: 02 May 2020

Former Black Stars defender Joe Addo complained of a lack of equipment during his 11 year spell with the senior national team although they were sponsored by Adidas.

He compared the state of the Black Stars to that of the Norwegian women's team who were also sponsored by Adidas but 'had everything'.

“I remember taking a look at the Norwegian women’s team coming from their team bus and realized that they were wearing the same uniforms, the same sneakers and all that. In our team, you wear anything you have. They had everything and we had nothing. The funny thing was we were all sponsored by Adidas," he told Joy FM.

"The officials (Ghana) were wearing the Adidas products but we weren’t wearing anything. We were usually always warned to never exchange jerseys with the opposition or risk going to the field bare chested next time.”

He admitted that the situation has changed for the better in recent times.
