Moses Foh Amoaning backs Hudson Odoi and Nketiah for Black Stars World Cup squad
Private legal practitioner Moses Foh-Amoaning has called for forgiveness and unity in discussions around the possible inclusion of Callum Hudson-Odoi and Eddie Nketiah in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Mr Foh Amoaning urged football fans to move past earlier disagreements and focus on strengthening the national team.
He stressed that the current generation of players cannot be compared to those who represented Ghana at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, adding that the team needs quality additions to compete at the highest level.
He highlighted Hudson Odoi’s recent performance against Tottenham Hotspur, noting that the winger stood out on the pitch even alongside Mohammed Kudus.
According to him, Hudson Odoi was the best player in that match and showed the kind of quality the national team needs.
Mr Foh Amoaning maintained that bringing Hudson Odoi and Nketiah into the Black Stars setup would benefit the country.
He expressed confidence that the duo would improve the team and increase Ghana’s chances as preparations continue toward the 2026 World Cup.

Officials from the Ghana mission in the United Arab Emirates have paid a morale-boosting visit to the camp of the Black Queens.
The delegation, made up of Consular Officer Percy Okudzeto, Consul and Head of Chancery Abdul-Jalil Sigli Yakubu Abdulai and Head of Transport Anas Shaibu, visited the team to assure them of the government’s support and commitment to their safety and welfare.
During the visit, the officials interacted with the team and offered words of encouragement, urging the team to remain focused on the tournament despite concerns surrounding unrest in parts of the UAE.
Consular Officer Percy Okudzeto emphasised that the Ghanaian government, through its diplomatic mission, is closely monitoring the situation and is committed to ensuring the team’s safety throughout their stay.
“We want the team to stay calm and focus on the competition. The government and the embassy are doing everything possible to ensure your safety and well-being.” he said.
Consul and Head of Chancery Abdul-Jalil Sigli Yakubu Abdulai also reiterated the mission’s readiness to provide any assistance required by the team during the tournament.
Leadership of the team expressed appreciation for the visit, describing it as timely and motivating.
With the backing of Ghana’s diplomatic officials in the UAE, the Black Queens remain determined to represent the country proudly and deliver strong performances in the Pink Ladies Cup.
The Black Queens have arrived in the United Arab Emirates to participate in the upcoming Pink Ladies Cup in Dubai. The team touched down at the Dubai International Airport via Emirates Air on Wednesday morning and were warmly received by the competition’s organising officials.
The squad will be based at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, where they will begin their final preparations for the tournament. Organised as part of the international women’s football calendar, the Pink Ladies Cup is expected to feature four national sides using the competition to assess their squads and fine-tune strategies for upcoming tournaments.
Ghana will open their campaign today with a clash against Hong Kong, while Russia and Tanzania face off in the other opening match.
The Black Queens are then scheduled to return to action on March 3, when they take on Russia in a match expected to test them against a physically strong opponent.
The final round of games will be played on March 6, with Ghana closing their campaign against Tanzania at 9:00 pm.
With three matches in eight days, the tournament promises to be a crucial phase in Ghana’s preparation, as the Black Queens aim to return to continental action sharper, stronger, and more competitive.
