Ghanaian midfielder Clifford Aboagye is hoping to make the Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup.
The former Black Satellites player now plays club football in Mexico and recently scored for Querétaro in a league match.
The 27-year-old is remembered fondly for his performances for Ghana’s U20 team in the FIFA U20 World Cup tournaments in 2013 and 2015.
However, he hasn’t really made it big since, making it difficult for him to be called up to the Black Stars.
Aboagye, who was tipped to become a key Black Stars player during his youthful days, has yet to make an appearance for Ghana’s senior national team.
However, he remains hopeful, saying to Times Sport, “I’ve been playing in Mexico for five years now, I’m not new to the league here and besides it is rated among the best in South America.
“I believe playing here should not hinder my chances of playing for the Black Stars. There are equally good players here who will be in Qatar with their respective countries and so do I,” he told the Times Sports.
“I have been working hard and staying consistent. I proved it at the youth level in 2013 where I captained the Black Satellites (U-20) to win bronze in New Zealand,” he added.
