In the forthcoming 2025 AFCON qualifiers, coach Otto Addo has selected his team, which includes two exceptional players from the Ghana Premier League, to play Sudan.

Left-back Isaac Afful of FC Samartex has received his first call-up following strong showings in the CAF Champions League qualifying round and his reliable performances in the current Premier League. His involvement serves as a reminder of his growing power in domestic soccer.

Frederick Asare, the goalkeeper for Asante Kotoko, is also included in the squad. He keeps his position in goal following a string of dominant outings for the Porcupine Warriors.


Otto Addo's Black Stars are looking to turn things around following a sluggish start to Group F—one draw and one loss.

On Thursday, October 11, Ghana will play host to Kwesi Appiah's Sudan at the Accra Sports Stadium. On October 14, 2024, Ghana will travel to Benina, Libya, for the rematch at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, a Ghanaian forward, celebrates his birthday with a brace in Sheffield's win.



Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, a Ghanaian forward of English descent, celebrated his birthday by scoring two goals to help Sheffield United secure a crucial victory.

The gifted attacker scored both goals in Sheffield United's 2-0 English Championship victory over Luton Town to celebrate his 22nd birthday in style.

In their Week 9 meeting at Bramall Lane, the Crystal Palace loanee was instrumental in helping his team win all three points.

In the 12th minute, Anel Ahmedhodžićprovided a precise lobbed pass that Rak-Sakyi took advantage of to give the Blades the lead.

I'm ecstatic. As I celebrate my birthday, it has been a fantastic day for the team and for me personally. I was a huge part of the team's two goals today. "This is beyond anything I could have imagined," he remarked following the match.



Then, in the 52nd minute, he extended Sheffield United's lead early in the second half by putting a low shot past Thomas Kaminski, the goalkeeper for Luton.

Rak-Sakyi's brace proved to be the game-winning goal as Sheffield United held steady in the face of late pressure from Luton.

After trying to break into Crystal Palace's first squad, the youthful forward, replaced in the 66th minute, has been impressive since joining Sheffield United on loan in the summer. He is looking for more regular playing time.

Rak-Sakyi is already leaving his imprint in the Championship after his outstanding performances during his season-long loan at Charlton Athletic, where he was voted Player of the Year.

The 22-year-old, who has two goals in seven games, is eager to make an impact at Sheffield United.
