The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is pursuing many Ghanaians born in the diaspora to switch allegiance to the West African nation. Following Ghana’s qualification for its fourth World Cup, football fans have urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to go all out in its search for dual citizens to bolster the Black Stars team.
Following his reaction to Ghana’s draw in the forthcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup, Sports Brief stated that Spanish-born centre-forward Iaki Williams has whetted the desire of Ghanaian football fans.
Inaki Williams is said to have discussed the prospect of switching his national allegiance to Ghana with the Ghana Football Association. The Black Stars have been interested in bringing the Athletic Bilbao forward away from Spain for a long time. The Ghana Football Association’s efforts have been unsuccessful over the years, with the 28-year-old rejecting every approach from the West African country.
