Ibrahim Sannie-Daara, a former spokesperson for the Ghana Football Association, has outlined the significance of including Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Danlad Ibrahim in the Black Stars roster for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
After being excluded from the international competition in Russia 2018, where France won, Ghana is making a comeback.
The seasoned Ghanaian journalist supported the pair’s participation in the Black Stars lineup for the World Cup in an interview with Accra-based Asempa FM.
According to him, Barnieh and Danlad inclusion in the team will fall into the plan of the GFA president, Kurt Okraku.
“My mind is on two players, Barnieh and Danlad because their inclusion in the Black Stars will fall into the strategy of the President of Ghana Football Association (Kurt Okraku).”
“Why do I say so? If we intend to promote players from the Ghana U-20 team to the Black Stars, and now we have Fatawu Issahaku in there, then Barnieh and Danlad who were teammates at the U-20 level addition won’t be bad and it will fall into our strategy that we are promoting players and we are giving them gradual progression.”
Ghana has been housed in Group H at the Mundial against Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea.
The Black Stars will open their World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 before taking on Uruguay and South Korea respectively.
