The hometown of Black Stars winger Ernest Nuamah, Asafo in Kumasi in the Ashanti region of Ghana has come alive with vibrant displays of pride and support as it prepares to rally behind its favorite son during the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Streets that once echoed with the everyday rhythms of daily life are now adorned with large banners, colorful posters, and murals featuring the Olympique Lyonnais star in his iconic Ghana jersey, his determined gaze staring out at passersby.
From the bustling streets to quiet residential corners, images of Nuamah , wearing the Black Stars armband have transformed the town into a sea of red, yellow, and green—the national colors of Ghana.
This outpouring of affection reflects not just excitement for the tournament but a deep sense of collective hope that Nuamah will shine on the global stage.
Nuamah debuted for Ghana in 2023 and has been a regular in qualifiers and friendlies despite ACL injury set in 2025. Recent activity includes involvement in 2026 World Cup qualifiers and a friendly vs Wales (June 2026), where he contributed a goal scored teammate Caleb Yirenkyi.
