Andre Ayew has described winning the U20 World Cup as the most beautiful moment of his career.
The midfielder, who currently plays for Nottingham Forest, was the captain of the Black Satellites squad that lifted the trophy in Egypt in 2009.
Ayew, who was just 19 years old at the time, played a crucial role in the tournament, scoring three goals in six games and helping his country to secure their first ever U20 World Cup title.
The victory was a historic moment for Ghana, and it remains one of the proudest moments in the country’s footballing history.
Reflecting on that achievement more than a decade later, Ayew says that winning the U20 World Cup was the most beautiful moment of his career.
“It’s the title that’s given us the most joy, the most honour and the most pride. No one expected us to win, because no African country had ever been world champions in that age category. It remains the best moment of my career. I can still picture the scenes that greeted our return to Ghana. The whole country was buzzing. It’s for those kinds of moments that we play football.
I’ve enjoyed some great victories over my career, but that trophy is on a whole other level for what it represents for Ghana and the entire continent” he said in an interview with FIFA.
