Kwame Opoku has been handed a call up to the Black Stars camp
Ghana Premier League trio Benjamin Asare, Razak Simpson, and Kwame Opoku have been called up to the Black Stars squad for the Unity Cup, set to take place in London this month.
The three players departed Ghana for London on Friday night ahead of the maiden edition of the friendly tournament.
Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Asare, who made his debut for the Black Stars during their back-to-back wins in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March, has become a mainstay in the team.
Asare left the country after helping his side secure a 3-1 victory.
Simpson’s Nations FC currently leads the Ghana Premier League, but the team will be without their hardworking defender for their match against Samartex this weekend.
Opoku, a key addition to the Asante Kotoko squad, will also miss their game against Bibiani GoldStars this weekend.
Ghana will face Nigeria on May 28 in their first match at the tournament at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium. One of the two teams will compete in the third-place play-off before the final on May 31.
The Black Stars are expected to officially open their camp on Sunday, May 25. The upcoming matches are part of their preparations for games against Chad and Mali in Matchdays 7 and 8 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in September.
