Coach Otto Addo officially released his final squad today with regulars like skipper Jordan Ayew, Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Benjamin Asare, Abu Francis, Ibrahim Sulemana all maintained. Kudus Mohammed, Thomas Partey, all couldn't make it despite not being injured
One surprising name on the list is Italian-based striker Felix Afena-Gyan who has been out of the national team for over two years now and his last appearance was in an international friendly against Brazil in September 2022
Injuries somehow has prevented him from showcasing his quality but was lucky enough to have stayed fully fit through the just-finished campaign having scored 6 and provided 3 assists in the Serie C
Ghana will begin their Unity Cup campaign with a high-profile encounter against Nigeria on Tuesday, May 28, at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford. The winner of that semifinal will progress to the final on May 31, while the loser will contest the third-place playoff earlier the same day.
The Black Stars are scheduled to officially open camp on Sunday, May 25, in Accra before travelling. The tournament is part of Ghana's build-up to their next 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Chad and Mali in September.
