The stage is set for a thrilling showdown in London as Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, has named a dynamic 23-man squad for the much-anticipated Unity Cup 2025.
The squad features a refreshing blend of youth, experience, and homegrown talent. Notably, four players from the Ghana Premier League have earned spots: goalkeeper Benjamin Asare (Hearts of Oak), Razak Simpson (Nations FC), Kamaradini Mamudu (Medeama SC), and striker Kwame Opoku (Asante Kotoko), showcasing Addo’s trust in local talent.
Former West Ham United goalkeeper Joseph Tetteh Anang, now at St. Patrick’s Athletic in Ireland, receives his first senior call-up, while Black Satellites’ standouts Abdul Aziz Issah and Aaron Essel, who impressed at the U-20 AFCON in Egypt, also make the cut.
Europe-based rising stars Caleb Yirenkyi (FC Nordsjaelland) and Mohammed Gadafi Fuseini (Union Saint-Gilloise) bolster the squad’s depth.
Returning to the national fold are Sunderland midfielder Abdul Samed Salis, back from injury, Anderlecht’s Majeed Ashimeru, and forward Felix Afena-Gyan, making his return after nearly two years out of the setup.
Ghana’s campaign begins with a high-stakes clash against rivals Nigeria at the GTech Community Stadium in West London on May 28. A win secures them a place in the final on May 31, where they could meet either Trinidad and Tobago or Jamaica.
With a rejuvenated squad and a blend of promise and pedigree, the Black Stars are poised to make a strong statement at the Unity Cup.
