The former youth international made two appearances for Ghana at the 1991 and 1993 World U-17 championship before making a single appearance for the senior national team the Black Stars in 1994.

“I have a son who currently plays for Schalke 04 U-19, I will advice him to play for Germany instead of Ghana due to my bitter experience playing for the national team”, Barnes told Sikka FM.

“I don’t want my son to replicate the same mistake I made years ago playing for Ghana” he concluded.

Sebastian Barnes played for Hearts of Oak in Ghana and German Bundesliga sides  Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FSV Mainz 05.
