Ghanaian teenage prodigy Caleb Marfo Yirenkyi has received his maiden call-up to the Black Stars for the 2025 Unity Cup in London, capping off a breakout season with Danish side FC Nordsjaelland.
The 19-year-old has been one of the revelations of the Danish Superliga this campaign, impressing with his consistency and maturity beyond his years. He featured in 27 matches across all competitions, contributing five goals and two assists — a standout return for a young midfielder operating in an advanced playmaking role.
Yirenkyi has earned widespread praise for his technical brilliance, quick acceleration, and high football IQ. He is especially noted for his creativity in tight spaces, vision in the final third, and clinical edge in front of goal. His performances have drawn attention from scouts and analysts across Europe, with many tipping him as one of the continent’s brightest young midfielders.
His inclusion in the national team underscores Ghana’s strategy of integrating emerging talent from European leagues into the senior setup. It also highlights the FA’s long-term focus on building a team capable of blending youthful energy with experience ahead of future international assignments.
As the Black Stars prepare for their Unity Cup clashes in London, Yirenkyi will be eager to seize the opportunity and translate his club form onto the international stage.
A strong showing could signal the beginning of a promising journey with the national team — and give Ghanaians a glimpse of a potential midfield mainstay for years to come.
