Head Coach Otto Addo has unveiled Ghana's 26-man squad for this month's international friendlies against Nigeria and Uganda, marking the beginning of a new era under his leadership.
Among the notable inclusions are Bolivia-based David Akologo, Nordsjaelland's Ibrahim Osman, France-based Nathaniel Adjei, and Diomande Mohammed from Rangers of Scotland. These players, along with Asante Kotoko's Frederick Asare, have earned their debut call-ups following stellar performances with their respective clubs.
The friendly matches, scheduled for Marrakech, Morocco, hold significant importance as Ghana prepares to usher in a fresh era under Coach Addo.
Excitingly, Brighton and Hove Albion right-back Tariq Lamptey makes a return to the squad after recovering from injury, which previously ruled him out of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Additionally, the squad sees the return of left-back Patrick Kpozo, winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, and midfielder Edmund Addo.
Key players such as Captain Andre Ayew, forward Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus, Osman Bukari, Samed Abdul Samed, and Elisha Owusu have also been named in the squad, adding experience and depth to the team.
Ghana is set to take on Nigeria on Friday, March 22, followed by a match against Uganda four days later. These friendlies will serve as crucial preparation for the team ahead of upcoming competitions.
