The footballing future of Glasgow Rangers midfielder Mohamed Diomandé hangs in the balance as he navigates a complex decision between representing either Ivory Coast or Ghana on the international stage.
Aged 22, Diomandé finds himself at a crossroads, torn between his roots in Ivory Coast, where he was born, and his deep ties to Ghana, where he underwent training at the prestigious Right to Dream academy in Accra.
Having already represented the Ivorian U23 team with one cap earned in March 2023, Diomandé now faces the crucial decision of pledging his allegiance to either the Elephants or the Black Stars.
In a bid to quell speculation surrounding his decision, Diomandé took to social media to address his dilemma, signaling that he remains undecided despite being simultaneously called up by both the Ivory Coast U23 team and the Ghanaian senior national squad this month.
While his message appears to lean towards a potential commitment to the Ivorian side, recent footage surfaced of Diomandé proudly sporting the jersey of the reigning African champions, Nigeria, alongside his teammate Leon Balogun during their time in Glasgow.
The ambiguity surrounding Diomandé’s choice has fueled anticipation and intrigue among fans of both nations, eager to see which national team he will ultimately represent in the forthcoming international competitions.
As Diomandé weighs his options, the footballing world eagerly awaits his decision, which promises to shape the trajectory of his career and add a compelling chapter to the storied rivalry between Ivory Coast and Ghana on the African football stage.
