Dutch-born Ghanaian wing-back, Jeremie Frimpong, sheds light on his decision to represent the Netherlands over Ghana, citing lack of early approach from the Ghanaian FA as a key factor.
In a podcast interview with PapaGhana on Kick ‘t met, Frimpong disclosed, “For me, it was not even like they (Ghana) were coming when I was younger, it’s now that I’ve grown that they are coming but back then they were never there.”
When questioned about the importance of catching young players early, Frimpong affirmed, “Yes, that’s a big factor, 100%. For instance, Holland, when you are young they come directly to you and reveal their plans to you.”
Currently part of the Dutch national team for Euro 2024, Frimpong’s decision highlights the significance of early engagement by national football associations in nurturing talent.
