Gremio forward Francis Amuzu says he feels ready to represent Ghana following the latter\u2019s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n

Amuzu, who turned down the opportunity to play for the Black Stars in the past in favour of Belgium, now plies his trade in Brazil.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to him, he would gladly welcome any opportunity to represent Ghana though he only focused on his performances at the club right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I\u2019m a Ghanaian, I was born in Ghana, so I\u2019m happy that they qualified for the World Cup. It\u2019s a wonderful tournament also to play, one of the biggest tournaments in the world,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, at the moment my heart is really with Ghana. If Ghana comes, for sure I will go and I hope they can call me.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now my focus is just here at Gr\u00eamio to try and perform every game and then in the future we\u2019ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the Black Stars booked a slot to play at the global showpiece last week, there have been several reports of foreign-based players willing to switch allegiance to represent Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
