Owusu-Abeyie can play for Ghana
Ghana have received a boost ahead of this month's Africa Cup of Nations with Dutch-born striker Quincy Owusu-Abeyie getting Fifa clearance to play for the Black Stars.
Owusu-Abeyie, who plays for Celta Vigo in Spain, had a superb showing for Holland as they hosted the Under-20 World Cup in 2005.
The striker, whose parents hail from the West African country, applied to play for the Black Stars last year.
The approval from football's world governing body of his nationality switch comes just 12 hours before the deadline of the submission of the list for the tournament.
Owusu-Abeyie, was named in Ghana's preliminary squad for the Cup of Nations last month even though he had not received the clearance from Fifa.
"We can confirm that we have just received a letter from Fifa clearing Owusu-Abeyie to play for Ghana," Ghana FA vice president Fred Pappoe told BBC Sport.
"We have told the boy that he is free to play for Black Stars and he is very excited about the news. It was worth the wait.
"We are confident that he has all it takes to take African by storm by playing for us during the African Cup of Nations."
