Jordan Ayew believes his appointment as the Black Stars' captain was inevitable.

The forward, who has been part of the national team since 2010, has earned over 100 caps and remained a consistent figure in Ghana’s squad.

Like his father, Abedi Pele, and his brother, Andre Ayew, Jordan has always shown commitment to the team, making himself available for selection whenever called upon.

In March, he was officially named the Black Stars’ captain, putting an end to ongoing debates about frequent leadership changes in the squad.

He took over from Andre Ayew, although Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey had stepped in as captain in Andre’s absence.

Speaking to Joy Sports about his new role, Jordan said it was only a matter of time before he became captain, following in the footsteps of his father and brother.

“I believe in destiny. I believe [becoming Ghana captain] was probably written in the stars,” he said.

Jordan captained Ghana against Angola in the Black Stars’ penultimate game in their underwhelming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
