Black Stars coach CK Akonnor revealed that majority of the players in the Black Stars team in the past were locals and admits that this has changed drastically.
The former Kotoko coach invited four local players to his team for the double header against Sudan in the AFCON 2021 qualifiers but the matches have been postponed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus disease.
Speaking to the GFA media team, CK spoke about the need to improve that area.
“I would like to give the chance to the locals more. When I started playing [for Black Stars], the likes of Frimpong Manso, Armah Senegal and Salifu Ansah the goalkeeper, they were senior guys."
"We had a majority of locals in the team. I started playing as a local player before I travelled abroad. It has changed and I think it is up to us to try as much as we can to improve that area."
