Ghana’s stalwart, Andre Ayew, is on the verge of rewriting history at the Afcon, eyeing the record for the most appearances by a player in the tournament’s history. With 34 appearances across 7 tournaments, he stands just behind Cameroon’s former captain and legend, Rigobert Song, who holds the current record with 36 appearances.
Included in the initial 55-man squad for the Ghana Black Stars, Andre Ayew needs only 3 more appearances in the upcoming tournament to etch his name as the player with the most Afcon appearances ever. Not only is he Ghana’s most capped player, but he also holds the title of the current top scorer among active players for the national team.
A decorated figure, Andre Ayew claimed the title of BBC African Footballer of the Year and was the top scorer in the 2015 AFCON, solidifying his place as an all-time leading scorer for Ghana in the tournament. His international journey began in 2007 when he received his first call-up to the Ghana squad and has since participated in 7 African Cup of Nations tournaments, leaving an indelible mark as an African football legend.
