Benjamin Asare, Kwame Opoku and Razak Simpson named in Black Stars squad for Unity Cup in London

Ghana Premier League players Benjamin Asare, Razak Simpson, and Kwame Opoku have been called up to the Black Stars camp. They will participate in the Unity Cup in London this month.

The three players left Ghana on Friday night for the tournament. This is the first edition of the friendly competition.

Asare is a goalkeeper for Hearts of Oak. He made his Black Stars debut during World Cup qualifiers in March. He has become an important player for the team. Asare left after helping his team win 3-1.

Simpson plays for Nations FC, which is currently at the top of the league. However, he will miss their game against Samartex this weekend due to national duty.

Opoku has also been a valuable player for Asante Kotoko. He will miss their match against Bibiani GoldStars this weekend as well.

Ghana's first game in the tournament is against Nigeria on May 28. It will take place at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium. One of these teams will play in the third-place playoff before the final on May 31.

The Black Stars are expected to officially open camp on Sunday, May 25. These games are part of their preparation for matches against Chad and Mali in September's World Cup qualifiers.
