Ghanaian duo Charles Takyi and ex-international Otto Addo have signed up with Germany�s political party SPD to fight racism from the sport.
The two players were joined by Hamburg�s mayor at the SPD party headquarters and held a shield with the inscription �Respect! No place for racism�.
Takyi, a striker for German Bundesliga II side St Pauli, early this week applied to Fifa for a national switch to play for Ghana.
He played in St Pauli�s Bundesliga campaign last season but got relegated.
Ghana�s Fifa 2006 World Cup squad member Addo has ventured into coaching since retiring from the sport and won the German youth trophy with Hamburg�s Under-19 side.
The Social Democratic Party is Germany�s oldest political party, established in 1875, in the German Parliament.
