Pappoe was part of the Ghanaian
2004 Olympic football team who exited in the first round, having finished in third place in group B. His hard work earned him a call-up to the
senior side, making his debut against
Sierra Leone on 19 October 2002. He was selected to represent the nation at the
2006 FIFA World Cup, where he made two appearances in four matches, as the unfancied Africans bowed out to world powers
Brazil in the round-of-16 match. ==Honours==
