Former head coach of the Black Stars of Ghana, Charles Akonnor believes that home-based players (local players) have to fight for a place in the national team. Coach CK Akonnor who made the team welcome several local-based players believes that the current coach, Otto Addo has also given the players the same opportunity.
According to him, the local league players will have to show effort in order to be recognized and be made to join the lineups. That is they need to prove that they deserve a spot on the team. In an interview with Abusua Fm, these were the words of Charles Akonnor, “I don’t think the players have reduced because he is doing the same thing but I believe that the local players have to work hard to prove that they are ready to do the job.”
With FIFA allowing only 23 players per team, the competition for spots by local players is going to be very tough.
