Prophet warns Black Stars about Nketiah, others

“All those boys who were outside and rejected attempts to play for Ghana, they [the Black Stars technical team] shouldn't add them,” he warned.
Prophet Testimony urged the coaching staff to maintain the same core of players who featured during the qualifiers, stressing that unity and continuity would be vital for success in North America.
He explained that Ghana’s participation in the tournament carried spiritual significance beyond football, suggesting that the team’s performance would bring blessings and favour upon the nation.

He specifically mentioned Eddie Nketiah and Callum Hudson-Odoi, advising the technical team to be prayerful and discerning in their decisions.
“Nketiah, Hudson-Odoi, and the others - they shouldn't add anybody. They should go with the same squad if they want to go far,” he cautioned.
He continued:
“If they bring anybody who didn't play a part in the qualifiers, they will break every prophetic realm they have entered. So don't bring them. If they want to join after the World Cup, that will be better. This is a prophetic caution to the nation; all those boys should not be added to the squad.”
The man of God concluded by stating that the World Cup would serve as a divine opportunity for Ghana, saying,
“This World Cup will open up Ghana to the globe, and it will be a shining light for Ghanaians. Because of that, doors will open. It is not about the action on the pitch, rather the competition is a medium God wants to use to bless the name Ghana.”

Reactions to prophet’s message about Black Stars
His message quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from Ghanaians online. Some supporters backed his claims, while others dismissed them as spiritual exaggeration.
@Kofiadobahmannesseh commented:
“We don't even know them, and we don't want them. Koraaaa hwɛ anka hm.”
@elishaclinton1 agreed with the prophecy, writing:
“God bless you, Prophet. We actually don't need those two guys. You're indeed a prophet.”
@GideonAkagbo-u8o5u added:
“Sure, I believe you, Man of God.”
The prophecy adds a new twist to the ongoing discussion about Ghana’s World Cup preparations, as head coach Otto Addo continues to consider whether to bring in players with Ghanaian heritage raised abroad, according to Ghanasoccernet.
Nketiah, who once declined the Ghana Football Association’s invitation, is now reportedly ready to don the colours.
Similarly, Francis Amuzu, a Ghanaian-born Belgian youth star, is also said to be eager for a call-up after switching allegiance in 2023.
Meanwhile, coach Otto Addo has set his sights on guiding the Black Stars past the group stages at next year's global showpiece, as noted by News Ghana.
