Augsburg center-back Patric Pfeiffer has finalized his switch of national allegiance from Germany to Ghana, declaring his readiness to join the Black Stars squad.
The 24-year-old's decision, initially announced by the Ghana Football Association two years ago alongside four other players, encountered delays that postponed his eligibility for selection.
Despite the setback, Pfeiffer has confirmed that the necessary procedures have now been completed, paving the way for him to represent Ghana at the senior level.
Speaking from Augsburg’s pre-season camp in Mpumalanga, South Africa, Pfeiffer expressed his optimism about receiving a call-up in September.
“A few weeks ago I was in Ghana and now I have my passport,” the Germany youth international said, as quoted by IdiskiTimes.
“I hope in September I can get a call-up. I know the coach, Otto Addo because he was the coach of Hamburg in the youth team [where I played].
“I have good contacts with him. I wanted to join the Black Stars before but I didn’t have my passport, but now it’s done and I’m ready.”
Pfeiffer, who made eleven Bundesliga appearances last season due to injury setbacks, emphasized his Ghanaian heritage despite being born and raised in Germany.
"Yes, of course, because this is my motherland, I love Ghana, I love the people, I love the vibe, I love the food," Pfeiffer affirmed.
