Ghanaian winger John Yeboah chooses to represent Ecuador national team
Ghanaian winger John Yeboah has been called up to join the Ecuador national team for their upcoming matches, marking a significant decision for the 23-year-old player.
John Yeboah, born in Germany to a Ghanaian father and Ecuadorian mother, had been eligible to represent Ghana but has opted to play for the South American nation instead.
This call-up represents Yeboah’s first invitation to the Ecuador national team, a decision influenced by his impressive performances for Polish top-flight club Raków Częstochowa.
Although he had previously represented Germany at the youth level, Yeboah has now chosen to represent Ecuador.
This decision comes as a setback for Ghana, as discussions had been ongoing regarding Yeboah potentially playing for the Black Stars, similar to the cases of Tariq Lamptey and Inaki Williams.
With his current excellent form in the Polish elite league, where he has scored a goal and provided two assists in seven matches, Yeboah is expected to make significant contributions to Ecuador’s efforts in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, which include matches against Bolivia on October 12 and Colombia on October 17, 2023.
