Abedi Pele Picks Ghana's 2010 World Cup Squad As His Best Team

Former Ghana captain, Abedi Ayew Pele has named the 2010 Black Stars squad as the best team Ghana have assembled in its football history.

The team made a history during the World Cup in South Africa and played in the quarter-finals for the first time in the history of the country.

The former Olympique Marseille ace was a kingpin for the Ghana national during his playing days.

He played with a number of good players at the national team but failed to play in the FIFA World Cup.

In an interview with GTV Sports Plus, Abedi Pele was asked to name his best Ghana team in history.

The former Olympique Marseille talisman did not blink as he chose the 2010 team.

"The 1992, 2010 and 2015 teams were strong in their own merit. I wouldn't want to go far in my answer but to my knowledge, I was in South Africa during the World Cup and the Ghana team was amazing. I saw Ghana play against USA and Uruguay and I can say the best team was in 2000," Abedi stated.

"Then the team had performed well in Angola in the AFCON and they were strong, they had everything. The team was gelling and I admired the boys so much in the match against Uruguay.

"I was sitting with former US president [Bill] Clinton when we played against their national team and he was impressed with our performance so I'll say the 2010 was my best team," he concluded.

Abedi Pele also won the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in 1982.
