“Getting Black Stars call-up depends on who you know”-Ghanaian defender Fard Ibrahim

FC Isloch defender, Fard Ibrahim disclosed that a significant factor in being chosen for Ghana’s national squad, the Black Stars, is “who you know.”

The Belarus-based player hopes to represent Ghana at the senior level but is concerned that his performance alone won’t be enough to get him a call-up.

According to him, he would not hesitate to switch nationality if he gets the opportunity.

“Of course, there is such a desire. But if I am now offered to play for the national team of Belarus or some other country, I will answer with my consent,” he told Betera.

“It is not so easy to get into the national team of Ghana. A lot depends on who you know. Do you understand what I want to say? There are many players who show a high level, but they have no chance to be in the national team. Everything is about connections. This is Ghanaian football,” he added. 4

The ex-Inter Allies player joined Isloch in March on a three-year deal. He has made 12 appearances this season for his side.

Ibrahim was part of Ghana’s U-20 team at the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in 2019 in Niger.
