Telvin Sowah, a Ghanaian prophet, has warned the Black Stars technical team from changing goalkeeper Benjamin Asare from the World Cup squad.
The prophet noted that, since Benjamin Asare joined the Black Stars, he has contributed significantly.
According to the man of God, Benjamin Asare, the spirit of Black Stars team must not be dropped, else the team will lose all group matches at the 2026 World Cup.
Speaking in an interview with Accra FM, Prophet Telvin warned, “If they change the goalkeeper, they’ve killed everything. They should maintain the local one. That’s why I urge them to use local players. Since he joined, there’s been calm in the team. He is the spirit of the team, so he should be maintained. If they go shopping and replace him, I’ll reveal how we’ll perform.
“We will lose the first, second, and third matches. Even the weakest team will beat us. There will be just one great team in their group, and they’ll defeat them easily. If they don’t respect the timing, they can forget it,” the prophet cautioned.
Meanwhile, Dr Ernest Koranteng, Chief Executive of The BAC Group, has called out the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku.
According to Dr Ernest Koranteng, the GFA President’s reference to players as ‘mercenaries’ was an unfortunate choice of words.
He is quoted by TV3 to have saying, “GFA President calling players mercenaries is unfortunate”.
His remarks follow an interview in which the GFA president Kurt Okraku referred to some players as mercenaries for rejecting playing for the Black Stars.
According to the GFA president, the Black Stars only need committed and passionate players ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Speaking in an interview with 3 sports, Kurt Okraku stated, “Players who have not shown enough commitment to the Ghanaian flag will not be part of us. There must be a good reason why a player is included in the travelling party. I want players who display high levels of dedication, passion, and respect for Ghana.”
“As a leader, I don’t really care what anybody says. At the end of the day, the responsibility lies with me, and I am accountable for Ghana.”
He added, “If we have approached you before and you turned us down, if you’ve shown a lack of respect or declined to play for Ghana in the past, count yourself out. It’s not going to happen”.
His comments come following reports of Eddie Nketiah, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Francis Amuzu wanting to play for the Black Stars at the World Cup after years of rejecting Ghana.
Meanwhile, Saddick Adams, a veteran sports journalist, has revealed that Eddie Nketiah, an English player of Ghanaian descent, is open to playing for the Black Stars.
According to Saddick Adams, Eddie Nketiah had, some years ago, rejected Ghana’s approach when officials from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) approached him.
The Angel FM presenter added that the Crystal Palace striker now feels mature and is ready to play for the national team if given a call-up.
Saddick Adams, in a post on X, wrote, “Spoke to Eddie Nketiah’s family this weekend to get clarity on the stories about his switch.
The source admitted that Eddie Nketiah had previously spoken to the Ghana coach and some GFA top officials, but he had not settled at his club yet, so he couldn’t make a decision”.
He added, “However, Nketiah is now settled and at 26, mature enough and ready to ‘give his very best’ if Ghana calls now.
Says he has Ghana blood running through him, so his “identity is unquestionable”.
Basically, he’s open to playing for Ghana now”.
