Unity Cup 2025: Four home-based players included in Otto Addo's 23-man squad

Ghana head coach Otto Addo has announced his squad for the 2025 Unity Cup. This announcement has generated excitement, especially with four home-based players included: Kamaradini Mamudu, Razak Simpson, Benjamin Asare, and Kwame Poku.

Their selection rewards consistent domestic performance. It also shows that the Ghana Premier League is vital for national team success.

Kamaradini Mamudu is an energetic right-back from Medeama SC. He stands out with his overlapping runs and solid defense. Mamudu has scored 8 goals this season, making him the best right-back in the league.

Razak Simpson is the captain of Nations FC. He brings leadership and experience to the defense. Calm under pressure, he excels in aerial duels and adds strength at the back.

In goal, Hearts of Oak’s Benjamin Asare earned his call-up through strong performances. He is agile and commanding in the box. Asare was Ghana's first-choice goalkeeper during recent World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.

Kwame Poku is a dynamic forward from Asante Kotoko. He offers speed, skill, and creativity on the field. Since returning to the league, he has scored 9 goals in 16 matches.

As Ghana prepares to face Nigeria on May 28, these homegrown stars highlight local football's potential. Their performance could inspire more domestic players to join the national team. The path to representing Ghana remains alive within the Premier League.
