Al Sadd star Andre Ayew is only three games away from becoming Ghana’s most capped player.
The former Swansea City and West Ham midfielder is currently second, two behind current record holder Asamoah Gyan (109), and is set to catch his former teammate this month.
Ghana will play pre-World Cup friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua, and Ayew will play in both games as the Black Stars technical team approaches the game with seriousness.
The two games will tie him with Gyan, but he will surpass the former Sunderland man before the World Cup starts, as the Black Stars have a friendly against Switzerland scheduled.
Ayew made his 100th appearance for Ghana in November 2021, scoring the only goal against South Africa in a crucial World Cup qualifying match in Cape Coast.
“It’s been an honour of a lifetime to play for my country and a blessing to be able to get 100 caps. Thanks to all players and coaches who have helped me all the way. Thanks also to the GFA and the Minister of Sports. God bless our homeland Ghana and make us Great and Strong,” said Ayew after the game.
Ayew made his debut for Ghana as a teenager in 2007 and has worked his way up to captain the four-time African champions.
Ayew has 23 goals to go along with his 106 appearances.
With 10 goals, he is Ghana’s all-time leading scorer in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Since his appointment as captain in 2019, Ayew has shown exemplary leadership that should be emulated.
