Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew has dismissed claims of a fractured relationship within the Ghana national team following their failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Recent reports suggested tensions among the players, but Ayew, speaking to Joy Sports, strongly refuted these allegations, emphasizing the unity within the squad.
“Obviously, we are not best friends because everyone is different and has people they’re closest to,” he said.
“But just like a family, the fact that you’re closer to your sister doesn’t mean you don’t love your brother.
“There’s no problem or friction within the team, and I’m yet to see any problem whatsoever. We’re like brothers,” he added.
Ayew, who netted nine goals in 13 appearances for Ghana last year, will be looking to maintain his impressive form as the Black Stars prepare for their FIFA World Cup qualifier against Chad on Friday in Accra.
The forward will lead the team against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium before traveling to face Madagascar on Monday for the fifth and sixth rounds of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
