Head Coach Otto Addo has named a strong 26-man squad for Ghana’s upcoming international friendlies against Austria and Germany later this month.
The Black Stars will take on Austria on March 27 in Vienna before facing Germany on March 30 in Stuttgart, in two high-profile fixtures expected to test the team’s depth and tactical discipline.
Four New Faces Earn Maiden Call-Ups
The headline from the squad announcement is the inclusion of four debutants — Derrick Luckassen (Pafos FC), Patric Pfeiffer (SV Darmstadt), Marvin Senaya (Auxerre), and Daniel Agyei (Kocaelispor) — all of whom have impressed at club level and now get the opportunity to prove themselves on the international stage.
Their inclusion signals a clear intent by Otto Addo to inject fresh energy into the squad while assessing new options ahead of crucial competitive matches.
Blend of Experience and Youth
The squad maintains a solid core of experienced players, including key figures like Thomas Partey (Villarreal) and Jordan Ayew (Leicester City), who are expected to provide leadership both on and off the pitch.
In attack, Ghana boasts exciting options such as Iñaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Antoine Semenyo (Manchester City), and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (Leicester City), offering pace, creativity, and goal threat.
