Posted On Monday, 4th March 2013
Ghana international hopeful Kofi Ntiamoah Nimeley
Swiss U17 World Cup winner, Kofi Ntiamoah Nimeley has written to the Ghana FA to make his decision to play for Ghana official.
The 19-year-old announced his decision to play for his country of birth late last year haven flourished at the youth side of FC Basel.
Nimeley was part of the 2009 Switzerland U17 side that won World Cup in Nigeria.
The talented right-back however prefers playing for Ghana and not Switzerland where he probably has a brighter chance of playing at senior level.
He however needs confirmation from world football governing body, FIFA to make his switch effective despite not exceeding the cut-off age of 21.
Nimeley has thus written to the Ghana FA as required to kick start the process which will hopefully make him eligible to play for Ghana from the U20 level in no time.
He will however not make the Black Satellites’ squad for this month’s African Youth Championships but could be available for selection for the World Cup if Ghana qualifies.
On-loan Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is the latest to have successfully gone through the process of switching nationality after representing England at youth level.
The others are Adam Kwarasey, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Quincy Owusu-Abeyie.

Memphis Depay when are you also writing to Gfa for your Nationality switch.
Why are these guys wanting to switch to play for Ghana knowing perfectly well that they have to pay to play.
all those above me are senseless idiots, xcept samedge.
and mojahedine
Kofi, Ghana is your country of birth so you are warmly welcome. Don’t listen to thrash issues that Patrick Osei Agyemang(Songo)and his illiterate cohorts will say. Just believe in your convictions, after all it is your career and not their career.Songo knows that when you come the right full-back position will be very tight for his paymaster Samuel Inkoom to compete.Ghana loves you.
Songo is nt the BS coach or Gfa chairman to decide the fate of players neither does he hv any inf luence in the bs team so make sensible comment md stop that unnecessary attack on personalities… Is ur father a space science professor? ..Idiot..
please dont ever try to come stay there and play for de swiss Ghana football is NPNP( no pay no play)this foolish and idiotic gfa members they will dissapoin u.
Ghana kaasa. my guy we need commited players not dancers. all we need from u is commitment.
Kofi Nimeley, if u follow your heart and you work towards ur goal, u can make it…don’t let nonentities confuse you! Goodluck.
Good move bro. Thanx for delivering on ur word. Met this great guy and was blown away by his humility. He has it all but personally wants to come play for Ghana. For me, Ghana doesnt need the best players, what we need are efficient and committed players!
