Black Stars captain, Jordan Ayew, has expressed his belief that his appointment as the national team’s skipper was destined to happen.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Joy Sports ahead of Ghana’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium, Ayew revealed his deep sense of purpose and conviction about his leadership role.
“I believe in destiny. I believe [becoming Ghana captain] was probably written in the stars,” Ayew said, reflecting on his journey to captaining the senior national team.
The 33-year-old forward, who has been a key figure in the Black Stars for over a decade, has faced both praise and criticism throughout his career. However, his latest remarks indicate his confidence in leading Ghana through this transitional phase, as the team seeks to reclaim its dominance in African football.
Ayew acknowledged the challenges the team has faced in recent years, with a significant turnover of players and coaching changes. Despite this, he remains optimistic about the squad’s ability to grow and succeed under his leadership.
With Ghana set to take on Chad in their World Cup qualifier, Ayew’s statement reflects his readiness to inspire the team both on and off the pitch. His experience and leadership will be crucial as the Black Stars aim to secure a spot in the next FIFA World Cup.
