George Afriyie has called for support for the Black Stars ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] next year.

Milovan Rajevac on Tuesday announced his provisional squad for the delayed tournament scheduled to be hosted in Cameroon.

The squad has been massively welcomed by several Ghanaians.

However, Mr Afriyie, who is a former Ghana Football Association [GFA] vice president, has called for support ahead of the tournament.

According to him, the Serbian has presented the country with a perfect squad.

“I have known especially David Abagna from Wa All Stars to Ashgold and now to RTU and with the inclusion of Maxwell Abbey-Quaye and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, it makes the squad perfect,” he told Asempa FM on the Sports Nite Show.

The 30-man squad comes with the inclusion of five local players.
