Ex-Hearts of Oak captain Yaw Amankwah Mireku has suggested that the only way the Black Stars can win back home support is for them to play for free.

He believes this will end the apathy and get the national team back on track.

Players at the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals went on strike and threatened to boycott their final Group match if they were not paid their appearance fees and bonuses.

That action infuriated Ghanaians and have seen turned their backs against the team as a result the decision to move matches from the traditional Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi to Tamale.

''If I am with the Black Stars, the only advice I can give to the players is that, we caused this hatred and it was through the huge amount of money that we were demanding and as at now we not being able to win any trophy for the country so let all sacrifice to play the national team for free,'' Mireku told Asempa FM

''If you do this, you convince the whole country to support you because you are not in for the money and it will revive the supporting base again and it will be the same people that will call on the government and the FA to start paying the players but as at now the supporters have lost trust in the players.''
