In the lead up to Ghana’s crucial 2023 AFCON qualifier against Central African Republic (CAR) on Thursday, September 7 at the Baba Yara Stadium, fans turned out in huge numbers to show love to under fire Black Stars Captain Andre Dede Ayew.
The veteran forward’s selection to the Stars has sharply split opinions as the 33 year old is without a club after his short term deal with English Premier League side Nottingham Forest run out at the conclusion of the 2022-2023 season.
Ayew was named in the 25 man Black Stars squad by head coach Chris Hughton that needs a win or a draw against CAR to guarantee its place at the next AFCON that takes place in Cote D’Ivoire.
In a viral video, fans mobbed the Black Stars bus as it made its way to the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi and chanted Andre Ayew’s name several times clearly in support of his inclusion in the lineup.
Ayew is in line to compete at the AFCON for the ninth time in his career.
