Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has revealed his 25-man squad for Ghana’s do-or-die AFCON 2025 qualifiers against Angola and Niger. These matches are crucial for Ghana, which is currently in a tough spot, sitting third in the group with just two points from four games. It’s been a challenging campaign so far, with the team scoring only once and conceding four goals. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as the Black Stars will need back-to-back wins to keep their hopes alive—and even then, they’ll need Sudan, who beat them 2-0 last time, to drop points in their remaining games.
Ghana’s first match will be away against Angola in Luanda on Friday, November 15, followed by a home game at Accra Sports Stadium against Niger on Monday, November 18, 2024. The 25-man squad for Ghana’s crucial AFCON 2025 qualifiers against Angola and Niger is shown in the image below. This roster, carefully selected by head coach Otto Addo, reflects the blend of international experience and homegrown talent that the Black Stars will rely on in these decisive matches.
For fans of the local leagues, there’s a silver lining in the squad selection: three home-based players have made the cut, giving some homegrown talent the chance to shine on a big stage. Isaac Afful from FC Samartex 1996, Razak Simpson from Nations FC, and Asante Kotoko’s Emmanuel Antwi have all been included, reflecting a blend of trust in both local and international players to bring home the results Ghana desperately needs.
This is more than just two games; it’s a defining moment for Otto Addo and the Black Stars. With the support of the nation, they’ll be fighting not just for a spot in Morocco 2025, but to lift the spirits of Ghanaians everywhere.
