Picture: Emmanuel Frimpong unveils his specially designed boots for Ghana debut
Posted On Friday, 15th March 2013
Ex-England youth international midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has revealed the exclusive boots he will be wearing when he makes his Ghana debut next week.
The shoes designed in the colours of the West African country have been prepared for the midfielder awaiting its use in the World Cup qualifier against Sudan.
The specially designed shoes are tagged with his name on it as well as his clothing line Dench.
Frimpong is delighted over his maiden call-up to the Ghana national team, describing it as the ‘proudest moment of his football career’.
The Arsenal midfielder, who is on loan at Fulham, was handed his first Ghana call-up on Tuesday for this month’s World Cup qualifier against Sudan in Kumasi.
The 21-year-old, who has played for England at youth level, only secured permission from FIFA late last year to switch nationality – making him eligible for Black Stars selection.
The process of seeking the nationality switch delayed for nearly two years after taking the brave decision to quit England when he was a key player for their youth side.
He has now demonstrated his extreme loyalty to Ghana,greeting his maiden call-up with huge pride saying it is a dream come true.
Frimpong was born in Ghana before he migrated to England as a tender age where he developed his football career.
He visited Ghana last year when he was recovering from injury and Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi visited him to assure him of the support of the country.
The defensive midfielder will become only the fourth player to have successfully secured a nationality switch in order to play for the Black Star – following in footsteps of Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Adam Kwarasey.

All the best my snr bro. Emma
@samege-bhave urself.Ghanains hav exprienc all calibre of playrs. We’v seen it al.frimpong is jst plyng his part.Abedi Pele fies private jet to the camp,Sam Kufuor lands nd depart wth whole Boeing alone frm Munich to Accra,Stephen Appiah shares $60.000 in South Africa to Ghanain funs.dnt intimidate frimpong cos he is a true Ghanain. Thats hw we rol.
Hello Emma. This is the spirit of being a Ghanaian. Proud to be a Ghanaian, proud to be a Black Star. This guy has made me feel guilty. I dont think I have been patriotic enough – Emma has shown the way. Dede and Jordan have to learn from this. They feel too big ! Is Black Stars their property that they can visit anytime they want whether in form or not. Greater players have come and gone – name them, Baba Yara, Sunday Ibrahim, Abdul Razak, Osei Kofi, Abedi Pele, Stephen Appiah, etc, etc. You guys will soon fade away. You will be remembered for the attitude you show today. It’s not the money, it’s the name!
@he-goat….at least Dede would b remembered for being d first African player to lead under 20s to lift d world cap. Africa BBC best player. U can envy d Ayews but dey would b stronger n better each passing day. After which player in current blackstar is more patriotic dan dem. .abet. ..
@hegoat, can u stick to the item n stop this hate game against the boys
Wel said he goat.no one is permanent especialy the best playrs.I was a great ayew fan.bt they startd it all nd will bare their fare share of unnecssary enemies.very unfortunate 4 such youngg talents.
BS needs u
Emmanuel Frimpong is carbon copy of the kind of players we need in the Black Stars at this tough times! players who are proud and happy to represent their country when called upon!
Lmaooo hey he-goat,your name is really funny bro
Frimpong is here to stay,mark my words.
Ghana shall rise again, we just have to build a strong team which has winning mentality.
@Joe, i want to know whether those players u’ve mentioned were debudants or not.
@samedde-go read ur comment? U warn him abt ghana.frimpong nd thos playrs hav one thng in comon;GHANAIN!No playr has ever die for being patriotic nd enthusiastic in ghana.giv m an example if u kno any.liv him to set his standrd,he mst liv his footprint 4 othrs to follow or do beter.never discorage him.aftr all he’s a British wth brightr oportunities which none of thos past legends hav whn they were debutants.no more comnts.
u r dlightd wt ds opotunty. bt after u bcom a real star u wl bgin 2 gh codtions b4 u play 4 dm.
IF ONLY HE’LL GET THE CHANCE TO WEAR IT AND PLAY
Ghana should go back for our red,gold,green colours as our first jersey colour and stop that white spirit-less colour we wear nowadays..white is not our colour, we must identify ourselves with our true colours. Check nigeria,ivory coast,south africa,togo,etc. All these countries still use their respective flag colours, why only ghana? GFA must make changes immediately to bring back our spirit. Everybody must help me talk about this importand issue.
The Fa must be blamed for this it happened prior to Germany , when we kowtow too cheaply to adopt white as our first choice jersey. it has not occured to Ghanaians to ask Akwasi why we are in this outfit. But I think this shd be a major debate.If it were to be mahama and akuffo addo issue u would see hw emotional ppl wl b..hmmmnnn Nkrumah’s Ghana.
@joe, i equally likes E. Frimpong as u do but all that i am trying to say is to calm himself than to launch his soccerboot whilst he is yet play. I don’t pray 4 his downfall but should incase he is unable to perform especially to what Ghanaians expected, remember those who critic will use this to criticise him.
My very expectations for Frimpong has not even begun yet. As a true Gunner and from our own academy, I believe he’s destined for greater things. I foresee a debut goal in view. A gud replacement for Essien
This guy should concentrate on performing well with his club and stop dreaming so much. He should remember players are selected based on their performance at the club level.
