President of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), Kudjoe Fianoo, has urged Ghanaians not to force players on new Ghana boss Chris Hughton.
He is saying this in response to calls for the inclusion of local players in squads for the national team and whether there was a need for a quota to be created for Ghana Premier League players.
Chris Hughton named his first Ghana squad for last month’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying header without a home-based player.
“I’m not cutting you (questioner) short but football is not parliament that every constituency must be represented,” he said at the sidelines of an event attended by footballghana.com.
“Let’s leave the coach to pick players that can deliver. If the player is a local player, fine. If the player is not a local player, we want people who will wear the Black Stars jersey and bring us joy.
“If the colour is white, green or whatever, we want Ghanaians to play for the Black Stars and take us to where we want to get to.”
