Medeama SC midfielder Etse Dogli has been called into the Ghana senior national team for the first time ahead of the Black Stars’ 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia.
The 22-year-old joined Ghana’s training camp on Monday morning as preparations continued for the Matchday 3 and 4 fixtures.
Dogli’s invitation follows a strong run of form in the Ghana Premier League, where he has emerged as one of the division’s promising midfielders. His performances have now given him the opportunity to compete for a senior international debut.
He began his top-flight career with Heart of Lions and played a key part in the club’s 2025-26 campaign. The midfielder made 30 league appearances for the Kpando-based side, scoring twice.
That form led to a move to Medeama, where Dogli has continued to establish himself. Since the beginning of the 2026-27 season, he has made 11 appearances for the club in the Ghana Premier League and CAF Champions League qualifying rounds.
His consistency, work rate and contribution in midfield have attracted the attention of Ghana’s technical team. Dogli will now aim to make a positive impression during his first involvement with the Black Stars and improve his prospects of being selected for future assignments.
Ghana’s two matches against Somalia will be played at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi. The opening fixture is scheduled for Thursday, November 12, with the return match taking place on Monday, November 16.
The Black Stars will be seeking to improve their position in the race to qualify for the 2027 AFCON when they face Somalia twice in four days.
Interim technical team leader Kim Lars Bjorkegren is expected to announce his squad for the two matches this week.
