Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has finalized his squad for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, submitting the list to the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
As Ghana prepares to compete in Group F, alongside Angola, Niger, and Sudan, Addo has strategically assembled a team aimed at securing early qualification.
Ghana, a nation with four AFCON titles, will begin their qualification journey next month.
The Black Stars are set to play their opening match at home against Angola on September 5 at the Baba Yara Stadium. This will be followed by an away fixture against Niger on September 9.
In a notable move, Addo has chosen not to include any players from the Ghana Premier League in his squad.
Instead, he has focused on foreign-based talent, reflecting his commitment to fielding an experienced and competitive lineup.
This decision highlights the coach's strategy to rely on seasoned international players to navigate the crucial early stages of qualification.
The Black Stars enter these qualifiers on a high note, having recently secured back-to-back victories against Mali and the Central African Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
With these successes in mind, Addo and his squad are eager to maintain their momentum and secure a strong position in the 2025 AFCON.
As the pressure builds, Ghanaian fans have high expectations for the team's performance.
The squad, under Addo's leadership, is determined to deliver and continue their winning streak as they aim for a place in the tournament, which will be hosted in Morocco next year.
