Ghana’s Black Galaxies squad numbers have been confirmed for the Algeria 2022 Championship of African Nations (CHAN).
While head coach Annor Walker has been preparing with 25 players since the team left Ghana on Christmas Eve, two more players outside the core have been registered for the tournament.
The versatile Caleb Amankwah, who was recalled by his club Hearts of Oak while the Galaxies team was in Ghana, as well as Great Olympics midfielder Amos Acheampong, have had their names on the squad list released by the Confederation of African Football (Caf).
Per the Caf release, Amankwah and Acheampong will wear Number 27 and 28 shirts respectively.
Goalkeeper Stephen Kwaku, who joined camp last weekend as a replacement for new Azam FC signing Abdulai Iddrisu, has been handed the No. 1 shirt while first-choice Danlad Ibrahim retains his favourite 16.
Interestingly left-back Dennis Korsah will be seen in No. 9 while star forward Daniel Afriyie Barnieh doubles up in the No. 18 jersey.
Captain Gladson Awako will be donning No. 11.
Solomon Adomako, Konadu Yiadom, David Abagna, Jonathan Attuquaye and Razak Yusif will also wear numbers 4, 5, 8, 10, and 19.
On Thursday, January 12, the Black Galaxies will switch base from Algiers to Constantine where they are scheduled to play all their group games – at the Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium.
Ghana face Madagascar in their opening match in Group C at 19:00 GMT on January 15. Games against Sudan and defending champions Morocco will follow at four-day intervals at the same kickoff time.
