Ghana Premier League trio Benjamin Asare, Razak Simpson, and Kwame Opoku have received call-ups to the Black Stars for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in London later this month.
The three players departed Ghana on Friday night to link up with the national team ahead of the maiden edition of the four-nation friendly tournament.
Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, who impressed during Ghana’s back-to-back victories in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March, continues to cement his place in the squad. He left for camp shortly after helping his club secure a 3-1 win in their most recent league outing.
Nations FC defender Razak Simpson, a key figure in his team’s title charge, will be a notable absentee for their crucial clash against FC Samartex this weekend due to his national team duties.
Asante Kotoko striker Kwame Opoku, who has been in excellent form in the second round of the league, also makes the squad and will miss his side’s upcoming fixture against Bibiani GoldStars.
Ghana are set to face Nigeria in their opening match on May 28 at the Gtech Community Stadium, home of English Premier League side Brentford. The winner of that encounter will advance to the final on May 31, while the loser will play in the third-place match.
The Black Stars will officially begin their training camp on Sunday, May 25. The Unity Cup forms part of the team’s preparations for their 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Chad and Mali in September.
