The football debate heated up when FUFA President Moses Magogo took to X (formerly Twitter) to encourage Farouk Miya to get back in shape, assuring the midfielder that his experience could be vital for the national team.
Magogo emphasized that despite Miya’s absence from the squad, he still has much to offer if he commits to regular play and fitness.
However, Magogo’s comments sparked a fiery debate among fans. One user, Turf Emma, questioned, “You guys really spoiled our beautiful game… You gave him that assurance as who?” Magogo fired back, asserting his position as FUFA President and clarifying that the selection of players lies solely with the coach.
“Experience is not bought but earned,” Magogo wrote, addressing concerns about the team’s inexperience. He highlighted players like Portugal’s Pepe and Cameroon’s Roger Milla, who extended their international careers into their 40s, suggesting that age should not limit Miya’s chances.
Fans have voiced mixed reactions, with some agreeing that Miya’s return could provide the much-needed maturity to balance the youthful squad, while others believe the decision should be left entirely to head coach Paul Putt.
As the debate rages on, one thing remains clear—Miya’s potential comeback is a hot topic. Whether he makes the cut will depend on his ability to regain his form and the coach’s final call.
