Ghana international Andre Morgan Ayew has reflected on the Black Satellites success at the 2009 FIFA U20 World Cup, while setting sights on another global football triumph soon.
Ayew, who is the most capped player for the Black Stars gained prominence after spearheading the Black Satellites World Cup triumph in Egypt 16-years back.
Having been named as the ambassador for the 2025 MILO U-13 Champions League, the former Marseille, Swansea City and West Ham United star affirms winning the 2009 World Cup felt like “bringing the whole world to Ghana,” and thus hope that the country will soon secure another global football title.
At the official launch of the MILO Championship in Accra, Ayew reflected on the proudest moment of his career, noting that his confidence and inspiration stem from Ghana’s historic triumph in Egypt—a victory he still regards as the highlight of his football journey.
“It’s very easy. We brought the world to Ghana. Yeah, that’s it — we brought the whole world to Ghana, and we hope that it’s going to happen again pretty soon, Insha Allah,” he said when asked about his fondest career memory.
In October 2009, Ghana defeated Brazil 4–3 on penalties, after a goalless draw in regulation time, to become the first African nation to win the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
