Ghanaian preacher Prophet Telvin Sowah Adjei has described Black Stars captain André Ayew as a player who is “very spiritually strong.” The prophet made the remarks during an interview on Okay FM on Thursday.
Speaking on the programme, Prophet Sowah said the Ghanaian forward possesses a strong spiritual backing that has helped him remain resilient throughout his football career. According to him, the Black Stars captain’s longevity, leadership qualities and ability to overcome challenges are not only a result of his football talent but also his spiritual strength.
The preacher indicated that many footballers face different forms of challenges during their careers, but some are able to remain strong due to spiritual protection and discipline. He believes this is one of the factors that has contributed to the success and endurance of André Ayew on the international stage.
Andre Dede Ayew has been one of Ghana’s most experienced and influential footballers over the years. The son of Ghana football legend Abedi Pele has played for several clubs in Europe and elsewhere while also serving as captain of the Ghana national football team.
Throughout his career, Ayew has represented Ghana at major tournaments including the FIFA World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations. He has often been praised for his leadership, determination and ability to perform in crucial matches.
Prophet Sowah’s comments have sparked conversations among football fans and observers, particularly about the role spirituality can play in the lives and careers of professional athletes.

The preacher has in recent times been sharing views on football and national issues during media appearances. In a related discussion on the same show, he also predicted that an African country could soon win the FIFA World Cup, a feat that has never been achieved by any nation from the continent.
While reactions to such prophetic claims often vary, supporters say they highlight the growing confidence in African football, especially following the historic performance of the Morocco national football team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar where they reached the semi-finals—the best performance by an African nation in the tournament’s history.
For many Ghanaian football fans, however, the focus remains on how the Black Stars can rebuild and become competitive again on the global stage as preparations continue for upcoming international competitions.
