Medeama defender Fatawu Abdul Hamidu has shared his excitement after playing his first match for the senior national soccer team, the Black Stars.
Hamidu gave a good account of himself in his debut game for the West Africa powerhouse after earning a late invite to replace injured Baba Rahman.
He trained only few days with the national team and earned Chris Hughton’s trust to start the game against Liberia in an international friendly game played at the Accra Sports Stadium on September 12, 2023.
Hamidu combined with teammates Jonathan Sowah to set up Jordan Ayew to slot home the Black Stars third goal of the match as Ghana secure a 3-1 win at the end of the game.
In an interview, the highly-rated left-back expressed his joy after making his Black Stars bow while admitting pressure playing for the national team.
“Being in the national camp is something that we all wanted to experience. For me, I might say there is a lot of pressure over there but I thank God, I was able to settle in well with the prayers of my supporters, dad and mum”
“The experience I got over there was massive. It is good for me to experience these kind of pressure over there” he said.
“The feeling was good. Being in the starting lineup was something huge for me. I was happy being on the pitch with my teammates. It was a good feeling because I experienced something. At the beginning of the game, there was pressure but as the game progressed, everything became perfect. Truth be told, I was so happy playing my first game for the Black Stars”
Hamidu will hope to cement a place in the national team and explosive debut appearance.
