Three Ghana Premier League players earn Black Stars invitations for Somalia double-header

Black Stars head coach Kim Lars Björkegren has handed maiden call-ups to three home-based players for Ghana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia.

The new call-ups are Musa Hamzata of Asante Kotoko SC, and Medeama SC duo Emmanuel Annor and Etse Dogli. 

Hamzata, a defender, has been rewarded for his impressive performances for Asante Kotoko SC, while Annor, a forward, and Dogli, a midfielder, have also earned their places after consistent displays for Medeama SC.

The trio join the 26-man squad as Ghana seek to revive their qualifying campaign after suffering defeats to Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia in their opening two matches.

The Black Stars opened camp in Accra on Sunday, November 8, 2026, ahead of the two matches. Ghana will face Somalia in the first of the two matches at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 15:00 GMT, before battling them again on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 15:00 GMT.
