Five players from the Ghana Premier League have earned places in the Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying double-header against Somalia.
Interim head coach Kim Lars Bjรถrkegren has included Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, FC Samartex defender Isaac Afful, and Asante Kotoko defender Musa Hamzata in his 26-man squad.
Medeama SC also have two representatives, with midfielders Etse Dogli and Emmanuel Annor receiving call-ups following their impressive performances for the Tarkwa-based club.
The selection represents a significant recognition of the quality within the domestic league, with the five players set to compete alongside several Ghanaian internationals based abroad for places in the national team.
Notably, Afful, Hamzata, Dogli and Annor are among the players earning their maiden senior national team invitations, while Asare retains his place after previously featuring for the Black Stars.
Ghana will host Somalia on November 12 before travelling for the return encounter on November 16, with both matches scheduled for a 3:00 PM GMT kick-off.
The Black Stars will be targeting maximum points from the two fixtures as they seek to strengthen their position in Group C and boost their chances of qualifying for the 2027 AFCON.
