Legendary former Black Stars goalkeeper Sammy Adjei has stirred excitement among Ghanaian football fans after declaring he is fully ready to return to national duty if the country calls on him for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking in an interview, the former Hearts of Oak shot-stopper confidently stated that although he has been away from active football, his vast experience gives him an advantage that never fades.
According to him, goalkeeping is a craft that relies heavily on instinct, timing, and understanding of the game—qualities he believes he still possesses at a high level.
“The World Cup is six months away, right? I can use three months for training.
Let me tell you something: you see, you have experience in this job, so even when you stay at home, you can still work. It is the same for us,” Sammy Adjei said.
His comments have sparked discussions about whether the Black Stars should consider tapping into the experience of former national players as Ghana prepares for its crucial group-stage matches, including the highly anticipated encounter with England.
Some fans argue that his leadership and experience could help stabilize Ghana’s defense, while others believe the team must focus on younger, active players. Still, Sammy Adjei’s confidence has added an intriguing twist to Ghana’s World Cup conversations.
For now, the ball is in the hands of the technical team and the Ghana Football Association as the nation gears up for a competitive global tournament.
