Kumasi Asante Kotoko Sporting Club goalkeeper Fredrick Asare is in a buoyant mood after receiving his debut call up to the Black Stars.<\/p>\n
Asare\u2019s call up comes at a time Ghana\u2019s National Men\u2019s Football Team prepares to play against Nigeria on March 22 and Uganda on March 26 in international friendly games.<\/p>\n
Both games will be played in Morocco and serve as the first set of games for newly appointed Black Stars head coach Otto Addo.<\/p>\n
Addo is making his second run with the Black Stars as a head coach for the second time though his first run out with the four time AFCON winners was on an interim basis.<\/p>\n

Despite his fine performances, Asare hasn\u2019t been able to prevent Kotoko from losing four of five Ghana Premier League games since the second half of the 2023-2024 season commenced in February.<\/p>\n
