Nations FC defender Razak Simpson has been rewarded with his first call-up to the Black Stars after a string of impressive performances in the Ghana Premier League.
The dependable center-back has been instrumental for Nations FC, logging 790 minutes across nine matches this season and helping his team secure five clean sheets. His contributions have pushed Nations FC to second place in the league table, solidifying his reputation as one of the league’s standout defenders.
Simpson’s selection by Black Stars head coach Otto Addo highlights his growth and consistency. Last season, he missed only three matches, making 31 appearances and cementing his role as a reliable figure in the local league. His journey reflects dedication and resilience, qualities that could prove valuable for Ghana’s national team.
The Black Stars are gearing up for two crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers this month, facing Angola on November 15 and Niger on November 18. Currently, Ghana’s qualification hopes rest not only on winning both fixtures but also on Sudan dropping points in their remaining matches.
For Simpson, this debut call-up is a significant milestone, offering him a chance to gain valuable international experience and potentially strengthen Ghana’s defensive options for future tournaments.
