— Emmanuel Antwi (@TheAntwiDream) November 7, 2024 His inclusion is deserving, following a string of impressive performances for Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League this season. Antwihas not missed a single game this season and has contributed a goal for the Porcupine Warriors, who are vying strongly for the league title.Antwis call-up is part of Black Stars coach Otto Addos strategy to bring in fresh talent for the crucial qualifiers, with Antwi set to join fellow local-based players Razak Simpson and Isaac Afful.He joined Kotoko in July after a difficult season with Great Olympics, where he faced relegation. His journey from a relegated club to Ghanas senior national team underscores his resilience and development, making his selection a proud moment for him.Ghana will play Angola on November 15 in Luanda and then host Niger in Accra three days later.
