The Ghana Football Association, GFA, has disclosed the reasons the Black Stars squad list for the 2022 World Cup qualifying playoffs against the Super Eagles of Nigeria has not been made public.
The first and second leg matches will take place in Kumasi and Abuja on the 25th and 29th of March 2022 respectively, but there is still no published Black Stars squad list that Technical Adviser, Chris Hughton, will use to execute the assignments.
Mr. Samuel Anim Addo, a GFA Executive member has divulged that the Ghanaian football ruling body doesn’t want the Nigerians to know their strengths.
“Strategically, we must keep our opponents (Super Eagles) confused, they are confused and the time that they will need to regroup and organise themselves to know our strengths will be limited,” Addo said to Citi TV.

“The players who have been selected know they are travelling and are already preparing for the game.
“The most important thing is that you will get Ghanians who are going to die for this country.
The invited Black Stars players being shielded from public knowledge are about now arriving camp in Accra. They’re billed to travel to Kumasi – the venue of the match – on Tueday, March 22, and start training the following day ahead of match on Friday.
Nigeria coach, Austin Eguavoen released a 32-man list for the playoffs on the 4th of March 2022.

You’re simply AFRAID!
Admit it and stop the blabbing!!!!
Y’all have seen what the likes of Osimhen are about to bring to your doorstep on Friday, so feel free, spy us all you want…. you’re going DOWN by the end of it all on the 29th…you can wait till Canada/US 2026 when you’d probably square off against a much ‘lighter’ opponent lolz
U the one who’s afraid and it clearly shows why u so much concerned about Ghana list!lol
Lol. Ok o…by the end of the day (29th), we’ll both know who’s really “concerned”, won’t we?
Continue
I wish I can bet ur ass
Please keep your a** with you. No deal. Focus on the action on the 25th & 29th
I learnt Messi and Ronaldo are on the list
Isn’t it laughable that in modern football some countries are still hiding their list to confuse their opponent? That shows how scared they are. There has never been anything like black star, even if there is, it can only shine with help of Vaseline or grease. But the Eagle is always super.
Pay them no attention.
The grass will tell the story eventually
Lol, I love this
An intelligent person will not talk like this. What is the best practice?
The fact remain that we won’t play with ghost and if that is true, trust, Ghana can run but you can not hide.
Ass licker ur country has no team they Ghana FA are still busy begging players to come and help them the reason the list is not yet made public is do to shame in case the invited players might pull out
That same shame will still fall upon them
In modern football, people are doing this? What fear can do!
Game is a matter of tactics not list
May be he want to include Sule Muntari that will be helping him to play outside shot bcos of Okoye. The thing is if Ghana has team, there won’t be hiding of selection.
This is a reflection of how crude those at hem of affairs of the Ghanian football are; in an era of technological dominance when football itself have been designed to belong to the public, what makes you think that by not making your squad list public two days to a FIFA grade A match, your opponent cannot know your strength? Are the players in the list going to descend mars? Will they not be drawn from football clubs across world? The fact is that your strength is known already because your players are known. History don’t play football, the super Eagles are made up quality players competing favorably among their mates at the highest level across the world and come the match day, I don’t see this current Ghanian team having a say in that game.
And are Nigerians experiencing this so called technological advancements lol
The last time I checked, even electricity which has come a long way in terms of technology is still lacking in ur ONE NAIJA AREA haha
If u can’t enjoyed even 3 days of constant electricity, u have no reason to lament about technology lol
Crawl back to ur hot apt u called a home and let man think mxm
Haha
Only one name matters to the whole Ghana and that is Partey. That’s all they have. With him, we can plan our game, except if he will not be playing.
U will be shocked by the talented players that ll show up in the game
Besides we are parading the same set of players from afcon but u ll see how talented they are
Lousy blogger!!
Who said you supply ghana energy to power our stadium? Have you ever heard of Akosombo? Pls don’t ever say this to any Ghanaian to embarrassing yourself. Because you hard your country supplies oil so you think your country supplies us oil for everything including cooking? Lol. Don’t be ridiculous
fools. As if the players won’t be ghanaians.
If you like hide the list till the match day, ghana will still fail.
Not less than 70% of the players will still be those ghana paraded during afcon.
It’s the fear of Nigeria team that will kill ghanaians.
All these lies of deliberately destroy the field that fifa approved and lies that all the hotels in new location have been booked by government officials are due to the fear of losing to Nigeria.
The level of defeat that will fall on ghana in the two legs will scatter ghana football team and will take years for them to recover.
God bless Nigeria.
All the charm and JuJu you burry in Baba Yara stadium will surely backfire and expire, black magicians !!!!
The Ghana black ass players will be humiliated in thier mama garri stadium ,I don’t care of any list of thier so called anywhere Belle face footballers.jordan ayew just pulled out now claiming he has covid,expect more to pull out,though I think Jordan is smart for pulling out.i wish tomorrow is Friday
Many will still pull out.
Ghana has no team up till now.
All these funny news of hiding the list is to cover up.
Black is beautiful and only a BOKOM idiot like u who has no self identity ll degrade black lol
I don’t understand why God assembled these crop of criminal minded animals and grouped them together haha
Why God? That wasteful space should be turn into something profitable lol
How is this a strategy? it’s the dumbest ever.
Nigeria already knows you will stick to 80% of the players you’re going to deploy in the playoffs and they cannot be 100% newly constituted except you want to be thoroughly disgraced; though I can’t be 100% certain that you will be that smart!
Nigeria also knows how difficult it’s going to be for you to get the remaining 20% unknown newbies to properly blend with your existing squad for the very first time in less than 5 days.
So I ask again; how is this a strategy?
Oh! of course and knowing that Ghanaians love history I wouldn’t also be too surprised if the so called new players are your old legs like Michael essien, Sulley Muntari, Tony Yeboah, Asamoah Gyan.
Show us ur coaching certificate!!
U dumb as a pair of socks
Psychology is greatest part of the game and even if we have a new team, what shows that ur team will come to the party too!!
U been myopic
What is myopic about being objective and logical?
I only gave my perspective on why I do not see any advantage in not releasing the list of your players. If you have a logical and objective counter argument to my views on this matter; then do so for my appreciation.
I don’t need to have
a coaching certificate before picking holes in your GFA’s dumb psychological approach.
U myopic because u only talked about only the disadvantage of hiding the list whiles neglecting the advantages that comes with it
I have already told u, psychology is huge part of the game and in football is all about the MIND GAMES!
Childish psychology
It is clear that you’re the one that is myopic. I gave you specific reasons why it’s a no advantage and I ask you to provide specific counter reasons why it is. Your mere response that “psychology is part of the Game” is cowardly, infantile, idiotic,and lacking in substance. The bottom line is that your GFA is in disarray and you guys do not have a list to confidently present your Ghanaian fans because it would expose your GFA’s incompetence and if I am to quote Daniel Amokachi….” some people are under confusion”
You wise ass, oya tell us the advantage of hiding a team that every body already knew 80% of what will be the list. Will that mind game stop the team that want to play against you from playing their game? Can you imagine south Africa hiding their list or Morocco hiding their list. They already have solid team, there is nothing to hide. Is when you don’t know what to present that you will be hiding your jokes.
I mean Senegal not south Africa that’s another dumb ass they like rubbish too
An insider in Ghana already shared some of the names with with top NNF OFFICIAL according to a close source. So let’s see how far this will get you guys
So now u have seen how of our list is tormenting ur nff lol
Btw no Ghanaian official ll betrayed or sell his beloved Ghana to a Nigerian haha
Ghanaians aren’t traitors like Nigerians lol
But whats wrong with them? are they not Ghanaians. Whether old or new legs m if they will beat you they will beat you and you will cry.
Seriously in this modern times and GFA is hiding list of their players . Infact, this is crap. Why don’t they admit that it’s their pride that is playing in their head along with the fear of losing to the Super Eagles that is crawling in their brains. Ghana takes this match as war whereas super Eagles is taking this match as redemption as they know that their people want more from them after the AFCON. Whatever GFA is planning ,note this that it’s not working on the Super Eagles at all. For those players are moree focused than listening to Ghana’s mind game as well as their manipulative gimmicks. Super Eagles will never underestimate them , but will definitely pull through at the end .
What has pride got to do with this and besides why are u worried about ur opponents players list in the first place if it isn’t bothering u
The way is bothering u is the same way is bothering ur technical handlers and there’s nothing u can do about it
Psychology is part of the game dude
We are saying that the so called psychological approach of holding on to the list is dumb and not strategic. Give your logical and objective reasons why you think it is?
Ahah, I get your point, from what you said that means the purpose is to torment the eagles, buh is that one going to make us to be shaky on the field, bcos you did not release the list on time. Just imagine that is Nigeria that is hiding the list like this, you want to tell me you will not know the players that will be invited. You don’t have many players abroad so don’t tell me you want to over hull the team except with home base and that will be a disaster on your part.
Look, Ghanaians we are cool o. We know currently we have a problem, and we are working on it. You can no longer push someone who is already down.
But, don’t be surprised if we hold you,and bring you down, to get up.
Have a nice day.
This is quite funny though. You are keeping the team list away from
Nigerians because of Nigeria. So, Ghana is not bold enough
to announce their team list? Lol. If you like Ghana, don’t announce the team list.
As you can see now, we are doing our things to the best of our knowledge and no distractions, we are fully prepared for this match.
Please and please Ghana, don’t announce your team list. We don’t need it. One love. God bless Africa. God bless Nigeria!!!
U are a layman in football and probably psychology and hence doesn’t understand what MIND GAMES plays in football
U ll understand after Ghana out three solid goals into ur gaping net on the 25th lol
After the match ask me and if I I age time I ll take u through the schools of psychology and UNIVERSITY OF LOCAL DERBY!!
Hahahah I laugh you in Latin.
We don’t need your man to man analysis joor, if at all we will need to do that, that means the players will be outstanding and we will already know that they will make the team, for example partey. If you don’t gerit, forgerit.
Now it’s obvious that you just heard the world psychology and that’s the reason why the only thing you are shouting is psychology, psychology.
mumu pikin, shay na Alli Muntari and Kelvin Prince Boateng be your joker wey you dey hide. You are a real mugun.

All this stupid Ghanaiana disturbing this platform have been observing your stupid comments for the past two weeks.
GFA should keep the list Liverpool do not need QPR squad list to beat them home and away.
I solely expect All this rubbish Ghana FA is doing to provoke super eagles players to panel beat this black Stars home and away they should getat with their disgraceful antics Africa football deserve more than this.
We to GFA for this is nothing but fear I bet home/away Nigeria over 5 goals
And who is this idiot with bloody piles too lol
Go wey u
Lol
Honestly this is the BEST STRATEGY in FOOTBALL HISTORY..
Rather than the “PAROT MOUTH” like STRATEGY of EGUAVOEN. LMFAO!!
@MonkeyPost This one will just come and comment like a child whose toy was stolen from him
@selfmade can you please stop to insult people on here and concentrate on your dead Ghanaian national team who has expired since 2010 world cup. You fool this page is not meant for Ghanaian people but Nigeria citizens alone.
The real reason the list is not out is because they are scrambling to make up the numbers for their squad. The new striker they had hoped to use who plays for Bristol city is injured and out whilst Jordan Ayew has been reported to have contacted covid . The Ayew brothers are out, Semenyo is out , the Ghanaian technical are sweating profusely at the thought of facing Nigeria with a ramshackle team.
Lol bro semonyonwho is currently injured Andre ayew who is suspended and the other ayew is reported to have covid according to@golden child. They don’t have any striker left I think Felix Ayan Gyan and asmoah Gyan are their only option, but these two seems toothless
You now see the reason why they don’t have list up till now.
ghana has not seen anything yet. Many will still pull out.
Every evil they have done in the past has now backfired.
Asamoah Gyan can’t play football again.
I never knew Ghanians are this backward. I have lost my respect if any for them. Lets wait on friday the team list will be out 5mins to kick off. This is my first time of hearing this kind of rubbish in modern football. Everything is pointing to a heavy defeat even the Gods are obviously against you. You guys were jubilating cos Ndidi was injured and now your best striker with no goal all season has pulled out karma is real.
Boss who cares about your respect? And who says Nigerians are respected anywhere in the world? You will smell pepper on friday
Hiding the list of players simply shows that the Ghana FA is ashamed of the weakness of their squad. The Nigerian coaches already know who will play for Ghana on Friday. Some Ghanaians are Nigeria’s spies, and many Nigerians live in Ghana.
Imagine a team planning to play in World cup hiding list. It shows there’s no team yet. What about football club who’s players are already known, are they beatable? Football is only on game plan not list.
Messi and Ronaldo have decided to play for Ghana against Nigeria. That is why they are keeping the list secret. They want to surprise us and take us unawares.
I can’t think of any other reason for this their hide and seek. It will do them no good.
Hahaa. Maybe Sulley Muntari and Asamoah gyan hahaahah
Definitely t clearly shows GFA is sick and are fully scared of super eagles of a Great Nigeria…
We Ghanaians believe that football is a history and strategy.no matter how high the Eagle fly it can’t reach the stars. Let’s wait and see.
Black star is in the hole not sky. You won’t see any black star in the sky
A Ghanaian informant and girlfriend of mine who is close to the Ghana football authorities has leaked some of the players on the list that are to feature for Ghana in the Kumasi/Abuja playoff games gainst Nigeria. Please don’t ask me how she got hold of it. I hope coaches Eguavoen/Amunike and Salisu Yusuf are made aware of this. The main players on the secret list for Ghana include:
Mohammad Kudus (an attacking midfielder with Ajax Amsterdam); Daniel Kofi-Kyereh of St.Pauli (an attacking midfielder/striker in the current league leaders in Bundesliga 2 in Germany; Thomas Partey, midfielder of Arsenal and captain of the team; Felix Afena-Gyan of AS Roma in Italy (attacker/forward); Jeffrey Schlupp (midfielder/forward with Crystal Palace in London). These are the main players for the current Ghana team on the leaked list. Injury concerns seem to prevent the following from featuring in the games for Ghana as follows: Jordan Ayew of Crystal Palace(battling covid); Abdul Baba Rahman (left back defender with Reading in England who is battling fitness /thigh injury concerns and is doubtful for both games); Kamaldeen Sulemana, winger with Rennes in France who has a stress fracture injury and is also doubtful for the matches); new invitee (Aintoine Semenyo of Bristol City who is currently also injured) and Abedi Ayew (the captain and probably most experienced player in the team who has a red card suspension from the playoffs).
Please pass on this list to Eguavoen/Amunike /Salisu Yusuf coaching crew). Thanks
Ur have an iq of a caged monkey lol
Do u think a real Ghanaian ll sell her country to a crook rascal Nigerian lol
U have exposed ur small brains here lol
Go away u thieving BOKOM lol
You are a big fool and idiot selfmade or whatever they call you. I have to time to talk to your type. Asshole like you. I can see you have nothing to do but to be going throuh Nigerian online sports sites.
Nigeria is limited in midfield with only five players and 9 forwards which means the coach is looking at a 4 3 3 formation because all 5 midfield players cannot be on the field at the same time , at best Nigeria will field 3 and leave 2 subs or field 4 with one sub on the bench (this is not likely because they have 9 forwards ) and so it’s going to be 433 for Nija.
Now this present a big error for Nigeria because Ghana has a better midfield and this is where the game will be won !
All I know is that, the current Ghanaian team does not have what it takes to beat Nigeria to the sole ticket. If it happens, I will take a one-month leave from watching football. Nigeria all the way!
Whether Ghana releases her team list or not, we already know their players. 80% of those who featured at the AFCON would still be paraded. We are ready for them. The most and only in-form player they have presently is Thomas Partey, but a tree cannot make a forest.
