New Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan
Telecommunication giants Globacom have congratulated Asamoah Gyan on his appointment as captain of the Black Stars.
The 26-year-old was made the substantive captain of Ghana – replacing John Mensah who has been elevated to the position of general captain.
This means, the Al Ain striker will lead the four-time African champions at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
Gyan amongst other things, is also a brand ambassador of Glo and thus the telecommunication firm’s delight at his appointment.
“Since 2003 we have followed with admiration the personal flair and passion you continue to infuse into your game and the field of play everywhere you have been called to duty,” a letter signed by Patrick Awotwi, Head of Business of Glo Mobile Ghana, said.
“However, the quality which has caught our attention the most has been your unflinching patriotism and selflessness in the service of the national team.
“As a Brand Ambassador of Glo, Asamoah Gyan’s appointment as Captain of one of Africa’s most successful national teams is an endorsement of the vision and confidence that Glo has always reposed in him as a super sports brand.
“Glo is therefore happy and proud to be associated with you and applauds your laudable contributions towards making the Black Stars a vibrant and united team.”
Glo who are also leading sponsors of the Black Stars also wished the new Ghana captain all the best of luck in his leadership role.
“While we wish you best of luck in your new role as Captain of the Black Stars, we are happy to assure you that we will stay by you and the Black Stars in this new endeavour.”

HOW CAN GYAN BE CAPTAIN WHEN ESSIEN IS THERE? ESSIEN, GYAN, DEDE…IN THAT ORDER
Essien is where? Do you know that GH never won a match with Essien wearing the arm band. Check the facts. Essien never wants to play. He is more loyal to the Europeans. Unfortunately they always let him down.
KWESI, I DONT GET WAT U ARE TRYING TO IMPLY HERE. FOR THE RECORD, HOW MANY GAMES HAS ESSIEN ACTUALLY CAPTAINED GH? HE DID PLAY FOR GH BEFORE RIGHT? SO ASK YOURSELF WAT CHANGED? PERHAPS, HE GOT INJURED PLAYING FOR GH AND THE GFA, INSTEAD OF CHIPPING IN TO PAY FOR HIS HEALTH COSTS. GFA ABANDONED HIM. SO IF U WERE ESSIEN, HOW WILL U FEEL? WAT DO OTHER EUROPEAN FA’S DO IN SUCH A SITUATION?
nigga ji3 dede from that list top make we hear sometin. Everyday dede dede. Clapping doesn’t make one an inspirational captain.
essien,gyan, dede…HE IS DEF NOT THE BEST PLAYER, BUT HE SURE KNOWS HOW TO GET HIS TEAMMATES RILED UP. HE IS A CONFIDENT GUY. IF HE BECOMES CAPTAIN, HE WILL INSPIRE HIS TEAMMATES LIKE HE DID AT THE U20 WCUP.
that obsession to kick penalties 4 ghana must stop now dat u are made captain.wish u well.
Quincy was awesome, opening Lazio’s defense like a sharp knife passing through a hot butter.AA TRY TO CALL HIM FOR OUR NEXT FRIENDLY MATCH…..WHAT A PLAYER
ALL ZAMBIANS NOTE : I don’t know why Zambians are disrespectful on this site.Did Ghana at all create this site for your stupid ass? I hate your stupid comments here with that your stupid English sentences.Who said Ghana has any ravalry with Zambia? Football is a Game .Ghana can win and can loose and what is wrong with that?Village people as Zambians,go back to colonial rule and be civilised.Ghana is not fighting but playing a game of football and I see no reason why these stupid and uncivilised Zambians must ivade this site as if they are people that are at par with Ghanaians!It is a high time GSN requires national id to log on this site.What is wrong with these idiots?Even mighty Brazil is defeated by inferior teams at times so what is wrong with inferior teams like zambia and co defeating Ghana at times?Is this what is making Zambians going mad?Or they are just simply happy because they could defeat Mighty Ghana by chance?I just want all Zambians to know that Ghana has no ravalry with you and your team cannot be compared to Ghana.Zambia has just an inferior team no matter winning last years CAN.Zambia shouls stop decieving themselves by comparing themselves to Ivory Coast, Cameroon,Nigeria Egypt and the mighty Ghana.Foolish people
NB.All educated Zambians who are not on this site for unhealty comments are exempted from this.
