A group of football fans in the Northern Region of Ghana are not happy with the selection of players into the senior national team.
Kwesi Appiah has excluded the Ayew brothers from his squad to face Uganda next Saturday in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
According to the fans, it is a deliberate attempt by Black Stars coach, Kwesi Appiah, to sideline players from the Northern part of the country.
In a press statement from the fans read: "We are therefore bringing the issue in the national interest such that the talents in some parts of the country are not left to rot.''
''Since the central government spends millions and millions of taxpayers money, to finance its activities, there's the need for fair inclusiveness in the national team of which the Ghana Black Stars is not exempted.

''We are therefore calling on the GFA, Black Stars management committee and government to take a look at the issue surrounding the call-up of players into the national team, but don't misconstrue this to be interference but a genuine concern in the national interest.
''Recent developments in the Black Stars point to certain directions that some unseen forces are working against the inclusion of northern players in the Black Stars set up
''Example the dropping of Abdul Majeed Waris, the exclusion of Mubarak Wakaso, Andre and Jordan and Baba Rahman who got injured national duty with the Black Stars.''
