Spokesperson for the Ayew family, Fiifi Tackie has rubbished reports that both Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew have quit the Black Stars after the team’s elimination from AFCON 2021.
Reports on Wednesday, January 26, suggested the duo were set to quit playing for the Black Stars after speculations of being involved in using ‘black magic’ during the team’s camping in Cameroon for the AFCON.
However, Tackie, in a post on Twitter revealed both Andre and Jordan have no intentions of leaving retiring from national duty and are committed to ‘representing Ghana’.
"Andrè and Jordan Ayew are still very committed to the Black Stars team as they have always been. They will keep donning the Black Stars jersey to represent Ghana and give the team their very best on and off the pitch, as always. We just got off the phone."

Both Andre and Jordan played at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), where Ghana suffered a group-stage exit.

The two players have since been criticised by a section of the media, with some calling for them to be dropped.
Andre Ayew, though, maintains that his international career is not over and has more to offer the Black Stars.
Addressing the media after Ghana’s disappointing exit from the tournament in Cameroon, Andre said this will not be his last AFCON.
“We didn't make Ghanaians proud. We are sorry. We apologize for not taking the team to the next stage. We are very disappointed in ourselves because this is not Ghana,” the 31-year-old said.
“We didn't have a good AFCON. We didn't have luck in the competition but we will learn from this, go back, take the criticisms and come back stronger.”
Meanwhile, the Black Stars are currently without a coach after Milovan Rajevac was fired by the GFA on Wednesday.
