Veteran football administrator Yaw Boateng Gyan has alleged senior Black Stars players are sharply divided on political lines - among the ruling New Patriotic Party and opposition National Democratic Congress.
The senior figure of the opposition National Democratic Congress claims captain Asamoah Gyan, the Ayew brothers, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Mubarak Wakaso have nailed their colours to the mast.
There have been widespread suspicion of massive division in the team which appears to have been escalated after the country's unflattering campaign in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
The Ayew brothers pulled out of the World Cup qualifying return leg against Congo while injured Gyan traveled with the team to Brazzaville as they toasted the home team 5-1 on Tuesday.
But former Black Stars management committee member and Bofoakwa Tano chairman Yaw Boateng-Gyan has alleged the friction in the team has political undertone.
"Our boys in the national team including Asamoah Gyan, the Ayew brothers, my own nephew Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu (who has been overlooked) and Wakaso and the others must stop the politicization of the Black Stars," he fumed
"If not, Kwesi Appiah should not call any of them. What I have heard is that my own nephew Asamoah Gyan calls President Akufo-Addo because he is his friend.
"Then Dede and his brother also call former President John Mahama. How can you play any productive football with these mindset?
"You could clearly see the last time that they avoided passing the ball to each other. They are toiling with our heart!

this is the most childish talk ive ever heared since my stay on earth. what a thraaaash. so even if u belong to npp that means you shouldnt call someone in ndc??? very booooooooooooooogus statemennnt
I THINK THIS OLD MAN IS RATHER DIVIDING THE TEAM NOT THE BOYS.MUST THEY ALL SUPPORT THE RULING GOVERNMENT OR OPPOSITION. AS AN ELDERLY MAN I THINK YOU SHOULD PUT YOUR TIME TO GOOD USE RATHER THAN MUDDYING THE WATERS.
I NEVER LIKED THE PLAY OF THEIR FATHER'S PLAY TIME LET ALONE HIS CHILDREN. MINE IS PUERLY ON THE PLAY OF FOOTBALL AND NOT POLITICAL IT IS THEIR ATITTUDE OF PLAY. TO ME CALLING WHOEVER IS NOT MY BUSSINESS BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT GOOD FOR THE BLACK STARS.
Calling them when and for what and how are phone calls supposed to affect their play? If they call the president and ex president in their private time for private discussions, how does that concern the team. I think you are rather trying to cook out something to affect the team. otherwise, please come clear on what you mean - calls for what at what time?
Aaaaah saa, kwasi appiah sack them. ***barred word***.
what is wrong at all with this Adedi and his descendants about dividing the national football team. It started with their father against Kwasi Appiah. Now what do we hear, his sons too? SACK THEM!
