Frimpong won't quit Ghana if he gains international popularity
Posted On Thursday, 21st March 2013
Ghana debutant Emmanuel Frimpong has played down fears that he could abandon the Black Stars if he gains international popularity by playing for the country.
The 21-year-old is expected to make his debut for Ghana on Sunday when they take on Sudan in a 2014 World Cup qualifier in Kumasi.
This comes after the ex-England youth international obtained a nationality switch in order to play for Ghana, the country of his parents.
But some Ghanaians are worried that he could follow in the footsteps of AC Milan midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng, who quit the Black Stars few months after playing in the World Cup with the Black Stars earned him a bumper cash move to the Italian giants.
Boateng switched nationality as a time when he career was going no where with English side Portsmouth which has made Ghanaians uneasy over players who switch nationality.
The central midfielder has now assured Ghanaians that he is in for the long haul with rising fears he might abandon the team midstream.
“I’m here to stay with the Black Stars team and form an integral part of the Black Stars team for many many years to come,” he said.
“So I’m ready to give my all and seize this opportunity if I’m selected by the technical team, but that will entirely depend on my performance in training.
“I am not ready just for one game but to be part of the team in future assignments and I’m ready to serve my nation and my country of birth.”
Frimpong joins Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Adam Kwarasey to have obtained approval from FIFA to feature for Ghana haven played at youth level for European national sides.

A true role model. Worth getting an autograph from him for my son.
Enough of Boateng! Why you guys don’t talk of players who switched nationality and got dumped? Charles Whittle, kim grant and now abeyie simple bcos they won’t pay or give tips to those corrupt GFA for their invitation. Have you guys tell the whole world the true story of boteng retirement? Wasn’t amount taken from his winning bonus which he complained? Is time you guys seat up and figure out that, sani daara’s double standard is not helping this site. GSN is not as it were before
man,the fact that you switch nationality doesn’t make you a Black Star player forever.You need to improve your performance to keep your position.Boateng decided to walk away because he thinks the task of playing for country & club was daunting for him.Any other reason is a mere rumour which has to be proven.
That’s right Dr. Who. Switching nationality to GH doesn’t mean you get to play all the time. We should be asking ourselves why Quincy is struggling to hold himself down to one club all these years.
One thing that excites me about frimpong is unlike the other players Sabacious mentioned, he chose to play for GH when he still had a chance with England and actually captained their youth team. Same for Kwarasey. The other players all switched when they knew they wouldn’t have a chance with their other countries, especially Kevin.
Quincy has always struggled at club level, yet the few times he had played for Ghana he showed he was one of the best if not the best Ghanaian player. Rabiu is shit and cant even break into a weak French side. The same as other average Ghanaian players. so Why is it that the only skilful player who can solve our midfield problems is ignored after proving his worth in the National team.
Hahaha FLoppong Gay mercenary
Zambian Nigerian yo-robber ape!!
@Dr who can’t please tell me owusu doesn’t merit a place in the team? He’s far better thana adomah, Solomon asante, warris and accam either as a striker or a winger.

Zombians are timid, barbaric, largely uneducated people, and their country is one of the most backward nation on earth. A country with the sixth largest HIV/AIDS infections in the world! We will make sure all zombian chipolopolo players, their technical team including their coach go thorough HIV/AIDS TEST before even been allowed to enter Kumasi Stadium to play against our PRECIOUS BLACK STARS!
If these useless zombians who come and share this site will stop insulting Ghana and all the crap they say here, I will stop telling the truth about zombia!
