Black Stars coach Otto Addo has confirmed that Jordan Ayew will be the captain for AFCON 2025 qualifiers against Angola and Niger.
Otto Addo announced at a press conference on Thursday.
‘The initiative was to make Thomas the captain to guide the team. But once he is not there, I had to speak to Kudus and I made the decision to make him the captain in Thomas’ absence.’’ Otto Addo told journalists at the Ghana Football Association’s secretariat.

Otto further disclosed that he held significant talks with Kudus Mohammed before to iron things out.
‘‘I have decided to pick a new captain for the team which will be Jordan. So I talked to Kudus for him to understand that I will want him to grow into the role and be the second captain alongside Djiku.’’
‘‘Jordan will take over now, from now and he will lead and guide the team.’’
The Black Stars will face Angola on November 15 in Luanda, before facing Niger three days later, in Accra.
Ghana is currently third in Group F, scoring two points out of four games.
