Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, the Leicester City winger, has sparked a social media frenzy with his fashion choices, but Ghanaians have a message for him: it's time to deliver on the pitch! The pressure is on as the Black Stars prepare for a crucial World Cup qualifier.
Issahaku, known for his stylish ensembles, arrived at the Ghana camp ahead of the World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic, dressed to impress. His $10,000 Goyard trolley case and designer outfit caught the attention of many, especially on TikTok. But here's where it gets controversial—some fans are questioning if his focus is where it should be.
As the Black Stars captain, Jordan Ayew, and the team gear up for the match, Ghanaians are calling for a strong performance. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup in sight, the nation is eager to see their team qualify. And this is the part most people miss—the fine line between personal style and professionalism.
Despite the fashion statement, Issahaku's talent is undeniable. He has been named in the starting line-up by head coach Otto Addo, who believes in his abilities. The match, scheduled for October 8, 2025, in Meknes, Morocco, will be a test of character for the Black Stars.
In a heartwarming gesture, retired footballer Asamoah Gyan led a morale-boosting 'Jama' session with the team, reminding everyone of Ghana's rich football culture. The players' reactions were emotional, with some fans commenting on the joy and unity it brought. But is this enough to secure a win?
The debate continues as some fans argue that Thomas Partey should be the captain, while others stand by Jordan Ayew's leadership. As the game approaches, the nation awaits a performance that matches the hype. Will Abdul Fatawu and the Black Stars rise to the occasion? Only time will tell.
