Mohamed Diomande Chooses Ivory Coast over Black Stars

Mohamed Diomande has turned down the offer to represent the Ghana Black Stars on national duties and has accepted to play for the Elephants of Ivory Coast.

Despite the fact that Mohamed Diomande is an academy graduate of Right to Dream in Ghana, and spending some years playing in Ghana, he is not Ghanaian and opted not to play for Ghana.

Mohamed Diomande is of an Ivorian nationality and has even been called up to play for The Elephants in the upcoming World Cup qualifying games.

During an interview with an Ivorian journalist, Diomande stated: “My dream has always been to represent Ivory Coast, the country of my parents.”

Mohamed Diomande is 22 years of age and is currently playing for Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.
Prior to playing there, Diomande spent four years with FC Nordsjælland in the Danish League.

The Ghana Football Association and Black Stars’ coach Otto Addo will be very disappointed with the decision of Mohamed Diomande to snub Ghana for the Ivory Coast.
