Razak Abalora considering nationality switch after Ghana snub?

Razak Abalorah, a former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper, has recently been passed over for Black Stars call-ups, leading some to speculate that he may be exploring a nationality change from Ghana.

After being excluded from Ghana’s plans for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the goalkeeper appeared to be considering switching nations in a message on his verified Twitter account.

“Time to swap nationalities,” he tweeted. The goalie removed the tweet shortly after posting it.

Abalora cannot change his nationality from Ghana once he has participated in four FIFA-approved games, though.

The 26-year-old made his debut in a 5-1 win over Qatar two years ago on October 12, 2020. He was also in post for Ghana’s 2021 AFCON qualifiers against South Africa which ended 1-1 and 3-1 win over Sao Tome and Principe.

The former WAFA goalkeeper’s last game for Ghana was a 1-0 win over Morocco in a friendly match on June 18, 2021.

According to FIFA’s regulation, a player can only switch nationalities if they played a maximum of three matches.
