The announcement of Ghana's 2025 Unity Cup team by head coach Otto Addo has sparked a lot of enthusiasm, particularly since it includes four domestic players: Kwame Poku, Benjamin Asare, Razak Simpson, and Kamaradini Mamudu.
Their selection serves as a strong indication that the Ghana Premier League remains an essential breeding ground for national team prowess in addition to being a reward for their steady domestic performance.
Medeama SC's vivacious right-back Kamaradini Mamudu has been an outstanding player thanks to his consistent overlapping runs and defensive consistency.
Mamudu is the finest at his position, having scored eight goals this season as a right-back in the Ghana Premier League.
At the core of the defense is Razak Simpson, the captain of Nations FC, who contributes experience and leadership. Simpson's presence brings structure and steel to the back, and he is composed under duress and formidable in aerial combat.
Benjamin Asare of Hearts of Oak has earned his call-up in goal with a series of dominant performances.
He has been one of the best goalkeepers in the domestic league, nimble and dominant in the box.
When Ghana defeated Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers during the most recent international break, Asare was the top choice for the position.
He has scored nine goals in 16 games for the Porcupine Warriors since returning to the Ghana Premier League.
The appearance of these domestic football heroes serves as a reminder that local football still has a lot of promise as Ghana gets ready to play Nigeria in their Unity Cup opener on May 28.
Their performance on this international platform may encourage more players from the country to follow in their footsteps, demonstrating that the Ghana Premier League is a vibrant place to be on the path to the national team.
