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.

Twenty-three (23) players have been called up for this month’s international friendly against Mexico.
The squad is composed of star players from the domestic league and European leagues who are closely monitored by Coach Carlos Queiroz, as well as U-23 players who will soon represent Ghana in the upcoming Olympic Games qualifiers.
Notable names include Majeed Ashimeru, Felix Afena-Gyan, Razak Simpson, and Birmingham City’s Ibrahim Osman.
Ashimeru returns to action after a long spell on the sidelines due to a muscle injury that limited his appearances at both club and national level.
Also in the team is Felix Afena-Gyan, whose last appearance for Ghana was in May last year when he featured against Trinidad and Tobago in the Unity Cup in London.
Barcelona B’s Abdul Aziz Issah, Ebenezer Annan of AS Saint-Étienne, Ibrahim Osman of Birmingham City, and Paul Reverson of Ajax FC have also been included in the squad.
Midfielder Salim Adams, one of the key players for Ghana Premier League leaders Medeama SC, leads the group of home-based players.
Others are Heart of Lions’ Ebenezer Abban, Ebenezer Adade of Dreams FC, and Nations FC captain Razak Simpson. Ghana will travel to Mexico for the international friendly on Friday, May 22, 2026.
