Medeama SC midfielder Etse Dogli has been named in the Ghana squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia, securing his first senior international call-up.
The 22-year-old joined the Black Stars’ camp on Monday as Ghana stepped up preparations for the two matches, which will both be played at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi.
Dogli’s selection follows an impressive rise through Ghanaian football. He began attracting attention at Heart of Lions, establishing himself as an important player for the Kpando-based club after making his Ghana Premier League debut.
The midfielder was a consistent presence during the 2025/26 campaign, making 30 league appearances and scoring two goals. His performances led Medeama SC to sign him ahead of the current season.
Since moving to the Tarkwa-based side, Dogli has settled quickly and become an influential member of Medeama’s midfield. He has played 11 matches in the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League and the CAF Champions League preliminary rounds.
Those appearances have highlighted his composure in possession, work rate and ability to control the tempo from the centre of the pitch. His form has now brought an opportunity to represent Ghana at senior level for the first time.
Dogli’s inclusion is part of the Black Stars’ introduction of fresh talent as the team begins its campaign to qualify for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. He will be aiming to make an impression during the international window and challenge for a regular place in the squad.
Ghana will face Somalia twice in four days. The Black Stars will host the first match on November 12 before meeting the East Africans again on November 16.
Both qualifying fixtures will be staged at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi.
