Tamale Fans Vow To Boycott Black Stars Matches After Ayew Brothers Snub
02.10.2017 LISTEN

Some football supporters in the Northern Region, capital of Tamale have expressed their unhappiness about Black Stars call-ups.

They supporters, however, believe that it is a deliberate attempt not to give chance for any player from the Northern Region to play for the country since Kwesi Appiah was reappointed as the head coach of the senior national team.

Mubarak Wakaso a native of Tamale was dropped from the nation with number one shot stopper for the last two years Razak Brimah also being dumped without a trace.

The Ayew brothers ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Uganda in Kampala have been snubbed by the head coach after he released a 26 man squad.

They are victims of Ghana's inability to win at home against Congo with Kwesi Appiah insisting he wants to give chance to new players.

But there those we argue that Appiah is only extending his 'hatred' for Abedi Pele who he clashed with during his playing days to his children.

"We are therefore bringing the issue in the national interest such that the talents in some parts of the country are not left to rot." a portion of the statement read.

"Since the central government spends millions and millions of taxpayers money, to finance its activities, there's the need for fair inclusiveness in the national team of which the Ghana Black Stars is not exempted.

'We are therefore calling on the GFA, Black Stars management committee and government to take a look at the issue surrounding the call-up of players into the national team, but don't misconstrue this to be interference but a genuine concern in the national interest.

"Recent developments in the Black Stars point to certain directions that some unseen forces are working against the inclusion of northern players in the Black Stars set up

"Example the dropping of Abdul Majeed Waris, the exclusion of Mubarak Wakaso, Andre and Jordan and Baba Rahman who got injured national duty with the Black Stars.'

"If these things continue we might be forced to have a second look at the way we give ourselves out to the national team."
