Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum, has downplayed any concerns regarding Thomas Partey’s captaincy status with the Black Stars, emphasizing that the Arsenal midfielder remains fully committed to the team’s success.
Speaking on Sporty FM, Asante Twum clarified that the decision has not affected Partey’s mindset or dedication.
“It’s not a problem for Thomas Partey that he’s no longer the Black Stars captain. It’s not about individual aspirations,” he stated.
Partey, who previously served as deputy captain under Andre Ayew, retains the same role under Jordan Ayew’s leadership.
The Black Stars are set to face Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, before traveling to Morocco to play Madagascar on Monday, March 24.
Ghana currently sits second in Group I with nine points, level with leaders Comoros, as they continue their quest for 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.
