Mohammed Kudus and Jordan Ayew shared a heartfelt moment during the Black Stars’ final training session at the Estadio de Novembro ahead of their crucial clash with Angola in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
As leaders of the current squad, with Jordan Ayew serving as captain and Kudus as vice-captain, the two players were seen in a brief yet significant interaction.
In a video from the session, Jordan called Kudus to the sideline for a quick discussion, with Kudus nodding in agreement, signaling their mutual commitment to steering the team towards victory.
Although the content of their conversation wasn’t audible, their body language suggested a unified resolve to overcome Angola and keep Ghana’s qualification hopes alive.
Jordan Ayew has taken over captaincy duties for these matches, a role previously held by Kudus during the team’s last games against Sudan. The announcement was made by head coach Otto Addo during the unveiling of the squad for the final qualifiers.
The Black Stars find themselves at the bottom of Group F with just two points. A win against Angola, who have already secured qualification, would elevate Ghana to third place, just two points behind Sudan, keeping their chances alive.
The high-stakes encounter is set to kick off at 19:00 GMT, with Ghana fighting to revive their AFCON aspirations.
