Attram De Visser Academy are advocating for the inclusion of Abdul Fatawu Issahaku into the senior national team following his exploits at the just ended Africa U-20 Cup of Nations tournament in Mauritania.
The Steadfast player was adjudged best player of the tournament as the Black Satellites clinched its fourth U-20 AFCON title after defeating Uganda 2-0 in the finals.
Captain of the Black Satellites Daniel Afriyie Barnie scored a brace in the game to win the final for the West African side.
Attram De Visser in a statement congratulated the team for winning the competition and also called on the technical handlers of the various national teams to ensure transition of the current crop of Black Satellites players.
They made an exception for Abdul Fatawu who should be called by CK Akonnor.
“We would at this stage like to edge the Ghana Football Association and other National team coaches to manage the transition of our boys well to help shape their future carrier and to the benefit of our national teams especially Ghana’s Black Stars”.

“One example of the transition we are advocating for is the captain of the Ghana U’17 team Abdul Fatawu who join the team and eventually became the competition’s best player, Well done Fatawu you deserve the award”.
The Division Two side also urged FIFA to re-consider staging the FIFA U-20 World Cup after cancelling the tournament due to coronavirus pandemic.
“We also wish also to invite the Executive Council of FIFA to take a second look at their decision to cancel this year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup”.
