Dreams FC's dynamic attacker, John Duku Antwi, has clinched a spot in the Black Stars' 55-man provisional squad for the highly anticipated 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

Released on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, by Head Coach Chris Hughton, the provisional list features familiar names such as the Ayew brothers, Thomas Partey, Daniel Amartey, and Inaki Williams, among others.

Antwi stands out as one of the eleven home-based players included in the provisional list, showcasing the diverse talent pool contributing to the Black Stars.

Hughton has until January 3 to finalize his selection, narrowing down the squad to the final 27 players who will represent Ghana in the tournament set to take place in Ivory Coast.

The Dreams FC striker, who previously earned call-ups to the Black Stars in 2017 and 2020 for World Cup and AFCON qualifiers, is making a comeback after impressing with his goal-scoring prowess.

His significant role in helping Dreams FC reach the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup demonstrates his impact on the pitch.

Antwi, eager to make his mark in the upcoming AFCON competition, has proven that he still possesses the goal-scoring instinct that caught the attention of the national team in the past.

As Ghana is placed in Group B alongside Cape Verde, Egypt, and Mozambique, Antwi aims to contribute to the Black Stars' pursuit of glory in the tournament scheduled to kick off on Saturday, January 13, through to February 11, 2024.
