Former Asante Kotoko midfielder, Richard Boadu
Former Asante Kotoko midfielder Richard Boadu has revealed that he turned down an opportunity to switch nationalities and play for Libya, despite persistent efforts to convince him.
In an interview with Fakye TV, Boadu stated that he remained firm in his decision due to his unwavering love for Ghana and his desire to represent his home country.
“When I came here, they tried to get me to naturalize for Libya, but I declined. It’s not about the money; I am Ghanaian. I also want to represent my country and feel the pride,” Boadu said.
The midfielder, who previously captained Asante Kotoko, has built a strong reputation in the Libyan top flight.
His impressive form has reportedly attracted interest from the Libyan national team, but the 26-year-old remains committed to his Ghanaian roots.
Richard Boadu, who currently plays for Al-Tahaddi Sports Club, has been in Libya for the past two years since his move to Al Ahly in 2023.
He joined Al Ahly on a free transfer after leaving Asante Kotoko.
