After a brief absence, Dede Ayew is set to make a triumphant return to the Black Stars. The skipper, who has been in fine form with his new club, La Havre, is being considered for a call-up by Black Stars head coach Otto Addo. This move aims to bolster the team as they prepare for crucial World Cup qualifiers against Madagascar and Chad in March.
Ayew’s recent performances have reignited hopes of his leadership bringing a fresh spark to the national team. His experience, being the most capped player in Ghana’s history, is seen as invaluable, especially after the team’s disappointing failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
The decision to leave Ayew out of the final squad for the 2023 AFCON qualifiers drew mixed reactions from fans and pundits alike. While some saw it as a necessary step to rejuvenate the squad with younger talents, others believed his absence contributed to the team’s lackluster performance.
Despite the controversy, Ayew’s track record speaks for itself. His leadership was instrumental in guiding Ghana to the 2022 FIFA World Cup and securing qualification for the 2023 AFCON. His potential return could be the morale boost the Black Stars need to bounce back and focus on their World Cup aspirations.
As the nation looks forward to the upcoming matches, all eyes will be on Ayew to see if he can once again lead the Black Stars to glory.
