Ghana head coach Otto Addo is expected to announce his Black Stars squad for the upcoming Unity Cup next week, according to the Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum.

The highly anticipated four-nation tournament is scheduled to take place later this month in the United Kingdom, with Ghana set to face fierce West African rivals Nigeria in the semifinal at the Gtech Community Stadium, home of English Premier League side Brentford. The match will kick off at 19:00 GMT on Tuesday, May 28.

The winner of that clash will go on to face either Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago in the final on Saturday, May 31, at 12:30 GMT.

Speaking to Sportsblog247.com, Asante Twum confirmed that preparations are in motion for the squad list to be made public, and fans can expect to see some fresh faces among the usual core group.

“I know the technical team is considering how to approach this Cup. There will be some fresh additions while keeping the core of the team,” he stated. “Possibly by next week, the coach will announce his team, and if we have local players, they will join the local contingents and move directly to London to begin preparations.”

Meanwhile, reports from local media suggest that Asante Kotoko duo Andrews Ntim Manu and Kwame Opoku are likely to join the squad, alongside Kamaradini Mamudu, Razak Simpson, and Ghana’s current number one goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, as part of the local contingent traveling to the UK.

With the tournament providing an opportunity to test new talent and build team chemistry, all eyes will be on Otto Addo’s squad announcement as Ghana intensifies preparations for this international showdown.
