Ashanti Gold SC defender Kwadwo Amoako says his mother cried when he told her about his first-ever Black Star call-up.
Amoako was named in Coach C.K Akonnor's 23-man squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers double-header against Sudan later this month.
“I will thank God almighty for my call up and I was excited when I heard it,’ Amoako told Ash FM.
“Every player’s belief is to play in the national team and I have believe in myself.
“I went to train when I came back I heard my name on my radio as the presenter mentioned the list of the Black Stars squad so I didn’t panic. All my team mates came to my room with congratulatory messages”.
He added, “My mother was happy for my call-up and she started crying on phone advising me to work hard and she will also back me in prayers”.
Amoako joined Ashanti Gold SC from fellow Ghana Premier League side Techiman Eleven Wonders last year
