According to Kinaata, many Ghanaians are paying close attention to the decisions being made ahead of the tournament and expect merit to play a key role in determining who makes the final squad.
“Dear GFA 🇬🇭, We beg waa, we’re waiting for the final WC 26-man squad. If the selection process is ongoing backstage too, kindly make it free and fair for the active deserving players.. because we all dey watch some. Thanks! From a Patriotic Ghanaian,” he wrote.
The post quickly sparked reactions across social media, with many football fans agreeing with the musician’s concerns about transparency and merit in national team selection.

The Black Stars remain one of Ghana’s most passionately followed national teams, with squad announcements frequently generating intense discussions among supporters, pundits and former players.
