Work hard to gain national call-up - Kwesi Appiah

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has urged players of Right to Dream’s U-15 team to work hard to gain national team call-ups.

Appiah is currently in the UK as part of a partnership between the Ghana Football Association and Manchester City.


During a question and answer session with Right to Dream’s U-15 team who are also touring the UK, Kwesi Appiah told the players to keep working hard so he can select them for the Black Stars in the future.


The former Black Stars captain could not hide his admiration for the Right to Dream Academy team’s high level of performance as they beat Sunderland 1:0 in a friendly game on Tuesday.


Appiah has called-up three graduates of Right to Dream for national duty during his reign. Razak Nuhu, Abdul Majeed Waris and David Accam have all played for the national team in recent times.

Norway based King Osei Gyan was the first Academy graduate to make his international debut before Mohammed Abu followed suit in 2012.


Also, the trio of Yaw Yeboah, Thomas Agyepong and Nana Fobih played with the national under 17 team at the 2013 African Under 17 Championship in Morocco.


The players benefited immensely from the academy’s well built and trusted model that provides students with first class education, character and leadership development and world class football development.
