I have the pleasure of announcing that defender John Mensah has been elevated to the General Captain of the Black Stars.

Subsequently, I have appointed Asamoah Gyan as the permanent captain of the Black Stars.

John Mensah remains an integral member of the Black Stars.

I urge all players to give the necessary support to Asamoah Gyan to help Ghana achieve success in our future challenges.

Thank you.

Signed: Kwesi Appiah Coach Black Stars
