Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro, the talented Dutch-born Ghanaian goalkeeper, is reportedly on the verge of a call-up to the Black Stars, Ghana’s senior national football team. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has begun the process of securing a nationality switch for the 19-year-old shot-stopper, who is currently the first-choice goalkeeper for Dutch Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Owusu-Oduro has established himself as one of the most promising young goalkeepers in Dutch football. His impressive performances for AZ Alkmaar have caught the attention of many, with his agility, shot-stopping ability, and command of the penalty area earning him praise from coaches and analysts alike. Despite representing the Netherlands at youth levels, his strong Ghanaian roots have opened the door for a potential switch to play for Ghana.

The GFA, keen on bolstering the goalkeeping department of the Black Stars, has actively pursued Owusu-Oduro, initiating discussions with the player and his family. According to sources, the process of switching his nationality is already in motion, and if successful, Owusu-Oduro could feature for the Black Stars in upcoming international competitions, including the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup qualifiers.

Owusu-Oduro’s potential inclusion in the Black Stars squad is seen as a strategic move by the GFA to build a strong and youthful team. With his experience in the highly competitive Eredivisie, where he has consistently proven his capabilities, he is expected to add depth and quality to the national team’s goalkeeping options.

As the process continues, fans in both Ghana and the Netherlands are eager to see what the future holds for the young goalkeeper. Should the nationality switch go through, Rome Jayden Owusu-Oduro will follow in the footsteps of several other Dutch-born Ghanaian players who have opted to represent the Black Stars on the international stage, further strengthening the connection between the two nations in the world of football.
