We mostly call foreign based players – Atiwa East MP advocates for GPL player call ups to Black Stars [VIDEO]

In a recent interview, the Member of Parliament for Atiwa East, Abena Osei-Asare, emphasized the importance of including players from the Ghana Premier League (GPL) in the national football team, the Black Stars. She pointed out that while foreign-based players are often prioritized for call-ups, local talent should also be recognized and given opportunities to represent their country. Osei-Asare believes that showcasing homegrown players can enhance the team's performance and foster a stronger connection with local fans.

Osei-Asare's advocacy comes at a time when there is ongoing debate about player selection for national teams. She argues that many GPL players possess exceptional skills and potential that could benefit the Black Stars. By integrating these athletes into the squad, she hopes to inspire young talents in Ghana and promote domestic football. Her call for inclusivity reflects a broader desire to strengthen Ghanaian football by valuing contributions from both local and international players.
