Executive Council Member of the Ghanaian football Association Nana Oduro Sarfo has supported Chris Hughton’s decision not to invite a home-based player into the Black Stars.
Hughton named a 25-man squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola.
The absence of players on the local scene has generated conversations about the quality in the country.
“Black Stars call-ups are based on your performance for a period. If we have so many players in Europe and their performances are good juxtaposed against the local players here, they are a shade ahead of them, what do you want us to do?” he quizzed.
“There is no quota. Until we decide that there should be a quota — maybe 30% should be local players, so be it,” Sarfo said.
Ghana will play Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on March 23 before travelling away for the return leg four days later.
