Politics in Black Stars not the cause of AFCON failure- Majeed Waris

Black Stars forward, Abdul Majeed Waris has insisted that the politics in the senior national team affects team selection only, not performance.

In the recent past, Mubarak Wakaso revealed that politics in the team is the cause of Ghana’s AFCON failures, much to the shock of many. He retracted his statement days later but the damage was already done.

In an interview with Adom TV, the 28 year old gave his view on the subject.

“When I was talking about this politics situation, a lot of people did not understand because if you look carefully, you will realize that yes there is politics [in the Black Stars] but it has had different effects. I said that I disagree with Wakaso that politics is the reason that we did not win the AFCON but people took it differently. They thought I was firing back at Wakaso but the politics is only affecting the selection of the players, not the performance. You can’t say that politics is the reason why we did not win trophies. Nonetheless, a player in the Black Stars has admitted that there is politics in the camp which is acceptable.”
