Elfsborg midfielder Michael Baidoo expressed his excitement after making his debut for the Ghana national team during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Baidoo, who was a late call-up replacing Arsenal’s Thomas Partey, came off the bench in both legs against Sudan. Reflecting on the moment, Baidoo said, “It was a special feeling. I was really excited to get the call-up, and it was an honour to represent my country.” With his family and friends in support, Baidoo fulfilled a childhood dream. The 24-year-old has had an impressive season at Elfsborg, scoring 14 goals and providing seven assists in 35 appearances. He now looks forward to contributing to Ghana’s future matches.
