Former Ghana international Dan Quaye is seeking for a dominant home-based players in the Black Stars team for its revival.
His comment stem from the Black Stars stalemate against Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifier on Thursday afternoon. Ghana has come under intense pressure after failing to snatch maximum points against Chad.
Ghana were two minutes away from securing a crucial away victory before the host struck through Ecua Celestin to cancel Jordan Ayew’s first half goal.
Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare appears to be the only home-based to have made the cut for Chad and Mali duels this month.
After seeing Black Stars against Chad, the former Hearts of Oak marksman says it is about time the country bank their hopes on local players for Black Stars revival.
“I will blame the defenders for the equalizer. They were just sleeping on duty. It’s time for us to bank our hopes on the local players. Razak Simpson is a top defender and could have done us good against Chad. He could have prevented the Chadians from grabbing this equalizer” he told Bryt FM.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars has arrived in Ghana ahead of the crucial game against Mali, scheduled for Monday, September 8 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Currently, the West African football heavyweights sit top of Group I, accumulating 16 points after seven matches, followed by Madagascar (13 points), Mali (12), Comoros (12 points), Central African Republic (5), with Chad securing just a point.
The Black Stars will finalise their 2026 World Cup qualification with games against the Central African Republic and Comoros in October 2025.
