Former Black Meteors striker Shaibu Yakubu has opened up on being dropped from the Black Meteors team ahead of the 2004 Athens Olympics Games.

The AshantiGold forward was part of the squad that played during the qualifiers that qualified Ghana to the Olympics Games. Yakubu’s goal ensured Ghana got an equalizer sending the game to the penalty shootout which the Black Meteors won and secured a ticket to the Games.

Shaibu Yakubu was later dropped for the Games despite his heroic efforts.

Speaking in an interview with Ohene Bampoe Brenya, on Happy Sports on Happy 98.9FM, he said, “We respect professional players than local-based players in this country. I was dropped from the Olympics games squad because some GFA officials told the coach to drop me”

“The coach told me that he will personally take me to the Olympic games to have a feel of it. The coach told me that GFA members had a meeting and told him not to take me there. I was really disappointed and sad because I honestly don’t know what I did for anyone or the GFA to ask the coach to drop me”, he added.
