Francis Amuzu has declared his readiness to play for Ghana.

Amuzu, currently plying his trade in Brazil with Gremio, is hoping for a call-up following the Black Stars’ qualification to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Formerly, the winger ruled out the possibility of playing for the Black Stars after representing Belgium at the youth levels. Still, he has made a quick U-turn, declaring his ambition of switching allegiance to the West African side.

“My father is an ex-footballer. He played in Ghana before moving to Belgium when he got a contract there. I started to play football since I got the blood from my father.”

“Yes, Ghana remains my first country. I have been there and also have some contacts with the family. So, I love Ghana. I am a Ghanaian since I was born there,” he said.

Amuzu, who joined Brazilian giants Gremio this season, has made a bright start – scoring two goals and providing one assist in 14 Serie A appearances.

“I am happy they (Ghana) qualified for the World Cup. The World Cup is a wonderful tournament – one of the biggest football competitions in the world. I am happy for Ghana,” he continued.

“To be honest, my heart is in Ghana. If Ghana comes, for sure, I will go. I hope they can invite me, but for now, my concentration is at Gremio, to try and perform well in every game.” Amuzu told Brazilian journalist Rodrigo Oliviera of Radio Gaucha.

Hearts head coach Nebojša Kapor has lamented the infrastructure problems in Ghanaian football.

Hearts of Oak secured a crucial 1-0 win over Port City FC at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, ending a three-match winless run in the Ghana Premier League.

Frank Duku’s 20th-minute goal was enough to separate the sides and hand the Phobians three points against the newly promoted outfit.

Despite the win, head coach Nebojša Kapor was left frustrated about the poor state of the Legon pitch.

“This is not our stadium; it’s a national stadium. Ghana football has serious problems with proper pitches,” Kapor said after the match.

The Serbian tactician’s remarks reflect growing frustration among coaches over the quality of playing surfaces across the league.

The Phobias have adopted the University of Ghana as their temporary home venue for the Ghana Premier League.

Hearts of Oak will play Vision FC in the next league game away from home.
