Ghanaian striker Abdul Majeed Waris has disclosed that he will still support Ghana at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt despite being snubbed from the squad.
The 27-year-old has missed back-to-back AFCON tournaments in 2015 and 2017 but had been tipped to be named in coach Kwesi Appiah’s final 23-man list for this year’s showdown.
Abdul Majid Waris who scored seven goals and provided six assists for French club Nantes in 38 appearances last season, has taken his exclusion in good faith.
“It’s the ambition of any footballer to represent his country, maybe this year’s Afcon is not the will of God. I’m a Ghanaian and still a fan of the Black Stars, so I can only wish the guys all the best in Egypt because they deserve our support. I may not have got the nod as expected but I will be supporting my country and hoping we can win it because that is always the target. Playing for Ghana is always an honor. I believe with the players we have and the coaches the team can go all the way in Egypt.”, Majid Waris said in a recent interview.
