Why fans are mocking Jordan Ayew
The clip has gained even more attention because it comes just weeks after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Ayew captained Ghana in all four matches but did not register a single shot on target throughout the tournament, per ESPN Africa.
For many supporters, the missed effort revived memories of the Black Stars' struggles in North America rather than a harmless training-ground moment.

Jordan Ayew's future remains uncertain
Away from the social media chatter, Ayew is still searching for his next club after leaving Leicester City at the end of his contract.
Despite the criticism surrounding his World Cup performances and the viral training clip, the experienced forward will hope to secure a new team before the start of the 2026/27 season.
He is also expected to captain the Black Stars when Ghana begin their 2027 AFCON qualifying campaign against Côte d'Ivoire in September.
Jordan Ayew's World Cup promise
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Jordan Ayew made a bold promise if Ghana won the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
