Clermont Foot defender Alidu Seidu has described the experience of playing for the Black Stars in front of fans at the Baba Yara Stadium as a “great” one.
He said this in an interview with the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) official YouTube channel in the aftermath of Ghana’s 2-1 win over Central African Republic (CAR).
Ghana booked its place at the 2023 AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire thanks to the win with Kudus Mohammed and Ernest Nuamah scoring for the Black Stars. Seidu played out the entire duration of the game.
23 year old Seidu is a native of Kumasi in Ghana’s Ashanti Region and got the chance to play his first ever Black Stars game in front of his “home” fans for the first time after missing prior encounter at the same venue against Angola due to injury.
“Me playing in Kumasi, I think it’s a very great experience for me and this is my first time playing in Kumasi so I was so so happy playing in front of my people in Kumasi.
Representing my career is a very big privilege for me and it’s a very special thing in my career all footballers are dreaming to play for their motherland. Being born in Kumasi I have a lot of fans in Kumasi.”
Ghana plays Liberia in a friendly game on Tuesday, September 12 in Accra.
