Medeama duo of Jonathan Sowah and Abdul Fatawu Hamidu have been named in Ghana’s final squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Cote d’Ivoire.
The pair, who have been impressive for the Yellow and Mauve earned places in the 27-man squad list as announced by Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton on Monday morning.
Sowah and Hamidu was included in the 55-man preliminary squad that was released a few weeks ago following his impressive outing in the Ghana Premier League this season.
The Medeama duo have been regular in the Black Stars in recent time due to their swashbuckling performance in the local scene and the Africa campaign.
The Black Stars will stage their preparation for the FACON tournament in Kumasi.
Ghana are drawn in Group B, where they will face record-winners Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde in the group phase.
The West Africa powerhouse have a history of success in the AFCON, having won the title four times, most recently in 1982. However, they have experienced defeat in three finals since then, including losses to Ivory Coast in 1992 on penalties and Egypt in 2010, as well as a repeat defeat to Ivory Coast in 2015.
The tournament is scheduled to kick off on Saturday, January 13 through to February 11, 2024.
