Thomas Partey not bothered by Black Stars captaincy decision – GFA

GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum has dismissed concerns over Thomas Partey losing the Black Stars captaincy, emphasizing that the Arsenal midfielder remains committed to the team's success.

Speaking on Sporty FM, Asante Twum stated, "It’s not a problem for Thomas Partey that he’s no longer the Black Stars captain. It’s not about individual aspirations."

Partey, who was previously deputy to Andre Ayew, continues in the same role under new captain Jordan Ayew.
