Rangers midfielder Mohamed Diomandé finds himself at the center of a significant decision as he receives dual international call-ups from both Ghana and Ivory Coast.
The 22-year-old, who holds a Ghanaian passport due to his upbringing in the country and his time at the Right to Dream Academy, was named in Ghana’s national team squad by newly appointed coach Otto Addo.
Diomandé’s call-up comes ahead of Ghana’s upcoming fixtures against Nigeria and Uganda.
However, Diomandé’s international options have been further complicated by a separate call-up from the Ivory Coast under-23 team.
Having already earned a cap for the Ivorian side last year, Diomandé faces a dilemma as he weighs his options between the two African nations.
The young midfielder must now make a pivotal decision regarding his international allegiance, considering the implications for his future career.
It’s worth noting that whichever nation Diomandé chooses to represent initially, he retains the option to switch allegiances at a later stage.
Despite the complexity of his international situation, Diomandé’s recent performances on the pitch have showcased his talent.
In the past month, he has notably scored goals against both St Johnstone and Hearts for Rangers, demonstrating his value to the team.
As Diomandé contemplates his decision, his situation serves as a reminder of the intricate choices faced by many players with dual nationality.
With both Ghana and Ivory Coast vying for his services, Diomandé’s choice will undoubtedly have significant ramifications for his international football career.
