Once the owner of Asokwa Deportivo SC and now steering the ship at Namoro Football Academy, Abdulai Amidu, affectionately known as Baba Kamarat, has raised his voice against what he perceives as an injustice by the Football Association (FA) towards the talented player.
Baba Kamarat’s sentiments echo the frustration of many who believe that Joel Fameyeh’s exclusion from the initial list of 55 players invited by the Black Stars’ leadership is a grave oversight. In a candid statement, Baba Kamarat asserted, “I think the leadership of the Black Stars of Ghana has not been fair to Joel Fameyeh for them to invite 55 players without him. With his excellent performance, Joel Fameyeh deserves to be part of the final list. It’s our prayer that Ghana will win the Cup of Nations this time.”
The echoes of Kamarat’s plea reverberate through the annals of Ghanaian football history, reminding all that recognition and fairness should be the guiding principles in team selection.
Joel Fameyeh’s journey in the sport is a testament to his skill and commitment, having previously donned the jersey for Asokwa Deportivo SC and receiving a local Black Stars call-up in 2015.
Fameyeh’s prowess continued to shine as he became an integral part of the Black Stars team under the management of CK Akonnor during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
His contributions on the field were noteworthy, adding substance to Baba Kamarat’s argument that Fameyeh’s omission from the preliminary list is an affront to fairness.
As the football fraternity eagerly awaits the final squad announcement, the question looms large: Will Joel Fameyeh’s name be among those selected to represent Ghana in the prestigious Cup of Nations? The hope is that the Black Stars’ leadership will heed the call for justice, recognizing the undeniable talent and dedication that Fameyeh brings to the game.
In the spirit of optimism, Baba Kamarat extends his heartfelt prayer for Ghana to emerge triumphant in the upcoming tournament. The call for fairness in player selection is not just about an individual; it’s a plea for a more equitable and inclusive approach that ensures deserving players, like Joel Fameyeh, have the opportunity to contribute to the nation’s football success story.
As the football community eagerly awaits the unfolding of events, the spotlight remains on the Black Stars’ leadership, challenging them to make decisions that reflect the essence of the beautiful game – fair play, recognition, and the celebration of exceptional talent.
