Rising Ghanaian midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi is on the verge of earning his maiden Black Stars call-up for next month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali, according to reports from GHANAsoccernet.com.
The 20-year-old, who has been a standout performer for Danish Superliga outfit FC Nordsjaelland, has continued to build his reputation with assured performances at both club and international level. He caught the eye during the Unity Cup in London earlier this year, where Ghana finished third after facing Nigeria and Trinidad and Tobago.
Yirenkyi’s energy, vision, and maturity in midfield have impressed the national team’s technical handlers, who are eager to integrate him into Otto Addo’s squad. A graduate of the renowned Right to Dream Academy, he has already established himself as a key figure in Nordsjaelland’s setup, earning plaudits for his composure, tactical intelligence, and ability to dictate the tempo of games.
His knack for winning duels and initiating quick attacking transitions has further cemented his status as one of Ghana’s most promising prospects in Europe.
Otto Addo is expected to announce his squad later this week, with Yirenkyi tipped to be included as part of efforts to reinforce Ghana’s midfield options. If selected, the youngster could make his senior debut and join a growing crop of emerging talents tasked with steering the Black Stars back to the FIFA World Cup.
