Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian talent Mohammed Kudus has chosen to relinquish the legendary No.10 jersey before the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The 24-year-old midfielder donned the No.10 jersey in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan and Niger, but has now chosen to give it up.
As reported by Ghanasoccernet, the motives behind Kudus’ choice are not fully understood, but they could be linked to personal factors, an attempt to reduce the burdens typically tied to the number, or a wish to let another player don the esteemed jersey.
Even with this change, Kudus remains entirely dedicated to the Black Stars and keeps concentrating on assisting the team in achieving success, no matter the number he wears.
This progress occurs during continuous discussions regarding leadership positions within the national team. It has been reported that forward Jordan Ayew will be formally named the permanent captain, beginning with the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
