After the Black Stars squad for the 2022 World Cup was announced on Monday, November 14, 2022, numerous social media platforms were flooded with reactions, with Stonebwoy accusing those in charge of accepting bribes.
The well-known Reggae/Dancehall performer criticized the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in a tweet, claiming that some players should have been selected but were passed over.
“There are players who are supposed to be in the squad who are not here because of #PayToPlay,” Stonebwoy tweeted without any evidence as he demanded an explanation from the GFA.
Coach Otto Addo of the Black Stars selected Ghana’s final roster for the tournament to be held in Qatar ten days before the team’s opening group game.
Goalkeepers Richard Ofori, Jojo Wollacott, and Baba Iddrisu have all been ruled out due to injuries, which have decimated the team.
However, it has well-known actors like Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew, Thomas Partey, Daniel Amartey, and others.
There was no room for people like Majeed Ashimeru, Yeboah, Jeffery Schlupp, Stephan Ambroissius, Mubarak Wakaso, etc.
Ghana was assigned to group H along with South Korea, Uruguay, and Portugal.
The Black Stars’ coach, Otto Addo, is optimistic that his team will be able to persevere and advance.
Otto Addo, however, has declined to elaborate on the reasons why some individuals were left off the roster.

“As a principle, I don’t like to do to others what I don’t want to be done to me. The team is like a family and whatever happens stays in the family. The players who did not make the squad know why they did not make it. I have spoken to them,” the 47-year-old remarked.
