President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has claimed some players in Niger's squad for their game against Ghana last month are not fit to play for his club.
The Black Stars played out a 1-1 draw with Niger in their second game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers last month following the defeat to Angola.
According to Okraku, Niger didn't deserve to take points from Otto Addo's men in a game that drew many criticisms.
"Four or five of the players in that [Niger] squad cannot play in my club. That is the truth. But Ghana played 1-1 against Niger," said the FA President in a speech to the team on Tuesday, October 8.
"What did we see? We saw a Black Stars team without energy, without passion [and] without the desire to play. It's not possible like this."
The Black Stars face Sudan at the Accra Sports Stadium on matchday three on Thursday, October 10, before travelling to Libya for the reverse fixture on October 15.
