In what was likely a first in international football, Black Stars skipper Asamoah Gyan wore a customised captain’s arm armband for Ghana’s 5-0 win over Ethiopia in the 2019 Group F qualifier on Sunday<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The armband Gyan wore for the Stars comfortable win was in the red, gold and green colours of Ghana but had an image of his portrait on it.<\/p>\n

\n

The controversy over his failure to hand over the captain’s armband came about in the second-half when coach Kwasi Appiah replaced him with Abdul Majeed Waris at the Baba Yara Stadium.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many viewers of the match commented on social media that Gyan walked off the pitch without handing over the captain’s armband to deputy skipper Andre Ayew – adding fuel to a perceived rift between the duo over who leads the team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether Ayew was presented with another armband for the remainder of the game.<\/p>\n
