Ghana Football Association Communications Director Henry Asante Twum has expressed strong confidence that Marvin Senaya will choose to represent Ghana, despite also receiving a call-up from Togo for the same international window.
The Ghana Football Association says no final decision has been made regarding André Ayew’s potential inclusion in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Coach Frimpong Manso says the result mattered more than the performance after his Nations FC beat Berekum Chelsea on penalties to reach the MTN FA Cup semi-finals.
Otto Addo has handed debut call-ups to four players – Derrick Luckassen, Patrick Pfeiffer, Marvin Senaya, and Daniel Agyei – for this month’s international friendlies against Austria and Germany. The quartet are part of the 26-man squad named by the coach for the two crucial pre-FIFA World Cup preparatory matches.

Daniel Agyei plays as a forward and winger for Turkish club Kocaelispor. Agyei was born in England, where he featured for Leyton Orient, Crewe Alexandra, Oxford United, and Burnley before moving to Turkey.
