Former Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Ibrahim Saanie Daara, has expressed his view on the challenging situation facing Black Stars coach Otto Addo regarding the inclusion of captain Andre Dede Ayew in the squad.
Ayew has encountered difficulties with the Black Stars due to their recent performances, particularly with group stage exits in the last two AFCON editions and the 2022 FIFA World Cup under his captaincy.
While some fans advocate for a transition away from Ayew, Saanie Daara argues that it will be incredibly tough to omit him from the squad at this juncture.
Despite the team’s struggles, Ayew’s performance in the French Ligue 1, where he has scored 5 goals this season, with one nominated for Goal of the Season, suggests that the 34-year-old still has much to offer.
In a post on X, the former GFA spokesperson stated, “To think that Andre Ayew is able to produce such a goal that wins the Goal of the Month award in the French top flight shows that he has more to offer. Well done, Capi.”
“This will be hard for Otto Addo to ignore in his Black Stars call-ups,” he added.
Coach Otto Addo is expected to name Ghana’s squad for the game against Mali in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the coming weeks.
