Black Stars jersey numbers for World Cup out

Ghana's camp announces the official squad numbers as players opt for their own unique shirt numbers for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Captain Asamoah Gyan sticks to his number 3 shirt while Kevin Prince Boateng swaps the 23 jersey he wore at the last World Cup for the number 9 shirt.

Michael Essien, who wore the number 8 shirt in his World Cup debut in 2006, has settled for the number 5 shirt.

Andre Ayew will wear his favourite jersey, the number 10 this time round as his brother, Jordan, making his debut goes for the 13 shirt that he - Andre - used at the 2010 World Cup.
