The inclusion of Emmanuel Antwi, Isaac Afful, and Razak Simpson in the Black Stars squad for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers is an inspiring boost for Ghanaian football. It’s a proud moment for their clubs—Asante Kotoko, Samartex, and Nations FC—showcasing the local talent thriving in the Ghana Premier League.
Emmanuel Antwi has indeed been a force in the midfield for Kotoko, with his skill in controlling the game and breaking down plays standing out. His style could bring versatility and dynamism to the Black Stars’ midfield, which will be crucial in these qualifiers.
Isaac Afful’s return is well-earned, given his reliability and composure in Samartex’s defense. His experience will be invaluable as he steps back onto the international stage, bringing stability to the Black Stars’ backline.
For Razak Simpson, this call-up is a huge achievement that underscores his rapid progress. His defensive versatility and energetic style make him a promising addition, and he’ll be aiming to translate his club form to the international stage.
Their selection highlights the quality within Ghana’s Premier League and offers encouragement to other local players who aspire to reach the national team. Fans will be watching with pride as these homegrown talents take on Angola and Niger, bringing the spirit of the local league to the African stage.
