‘My heart is with Ghana’ - Francis Amazu declares after Black Stars World Cup qualification

Audio By Carbonatix

Gremio forward Francis Amuzu says he feels ready to represent Ghana following the latter’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Amuzu, who turned down the opportunity to play for the Black Stars in the past in favour of Belgium, now plies his trade in Brazil.

According to him, he would gladly welcome any opportunity to represent Ghana though he only focused on his performances at the club right now.

“For me, I'm a Ghanaian, I was born in Ghana, so I'm happy that they qualified for the World Cup. It's a wonderful tournament also to play, one of the biggest tournaments in the world,” he said.

“To be honest, at the moment my heart is really with Ghana. If Ghana comes, for sure I will go and I hope they can call me.

“But now my focus is just here at Grêmio to try and perform every game and then in the future we'll see what happens.”

Since the Black Stars booked a slot to play at the global showpiece last week, there have been several reports of foreign-based players willing to switch allegiance to represent Ghana.
