The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has revealed that Black Stars head coach Otto Addo is expected to name his squad for the upcoming Unity Cup next week.

Ghana’s senior national team is set to participate in a four-nation tournament later this month in the United Kingdom.

The Black Stars will clash with West African rivals Nigeria in the semifinal at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford on Tuesday, May 28. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:00 GMT.

The winner of that tie will face either Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago in the final on Saturday, May 31, with the match set to kick off at 12:30 GMT.

Speaking in an interview with Akoma FM, Asante Twum confirmed that the squad announcement is imminent and hinted at the inclusion of new players.

"I know the technical team is considering how to approach this Cup; there will be some fresh additions while keeping the core of the team," he said.

"Possibly by next week, the coach will announce his team, and if we have local players, they will join the local contingents and move directly to London to begin preparations," he added.

Meanwhile, local media reports suggest that Asante Kotoko duo Andrews Ntim Manu and Kwame Opoku are in contention for call-ups, alongside Kamaradini Mamudu, Razak Simpson, and the current first-choice goalkeeper, Benjamin Asare, for the tournament.
