Ghana starlet Aaron Essel has earned his first call-up to the Black Stars, following impressive performances at the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
Essel’s solid defending and calm presence at the back for the Black Satellites caught the attention of coach Otto Addo, securing a spot in Ghana’s 23-man squad for the 2025 Unity Cup in London.
The tournament will provide Essel with valuable experience in senior international football, competing against top-level opponents. Ghana’s matches against strong teams like Nigeria, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago will test Essel’s skills.
The young defender’s inclusion reflects the national team’s focus on developing young talent for the future.
Ghana’s opening match against Nigeria on May 28 will be a crucial test for Essel and the Black Stars.
