Nana Fianko has called on André Ayew to retire from international football, cautioning against his inclusion in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on Atinka Morning Sports on Atinka TV, the presenter argued that the veteran forward has already made his mark and should exit at the peak of his legacy.
“Dede Ayew has served this country well; he should leave the stage while the applause is high. He should not be taken to the 2026 World Cup… else he will disgrace himself at the tournament.”
Ongoing Debate in Ghana Football
The comments add to the growing conversation around the future of the Ghana national football team, particularly as the team prepares for upcoming international competitions.
While some believe Ayew’s experience and leadership remain valuable, others argue that it is time to transition to a younger squad to build for the future.
Ayew, one of Ghana’s most capped and influential players, continues to divide opinion—highlighting the delicate balance between honouring legacy and embracing renewal in national team selection.
