Black Stars captain, Jordan Ayew, has expressed his unwavering desire to win a major trophy with the national team.
The Black Stars have endured over forty years without a major trophy, and with their absence from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, they face an even longer wait for another shot at glory.
This situation has consistently sparked outrage among fans, who criticise the players for their perceived lack of commitment while blaming them for the team’s failure to secure trophies.
Nevertheless, Ayew, who captained the Black Stars to two crucial victories against Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March 2025, has reaffirmed his long-standing ambition, during an interview with his club, Leicester City.
Ayew stated his commitment to working hard and staying patient, hopeful that his perseverance will one day be rewarded with silverware.
“I’ve been waiting for a national team trophy for many years. I have to keep on working and pushing, and if it comes, it comes,” he said.
The Leicester forward was in top form, leading the Black Stars to secure six vital points during the March qualifiers.
Ayew played a pivotal role, contributing to 50% of the team’s goals by scoring one and providing assists for three of the eight goals scored.
