Nations FC defender Razak Simpson has earned his first call-up to the Black Stars after a consistent performance in the local league for Nations FC in the Ghana Premier League.
The Abrankese base club’s defender who has been reliable and solid centre-back has played all minutes across nine matches this season in the Ghana Premier League, leading a backline that has helped Nations keep five clean sheets.
The 26 year old defender’s contributions have been instrumental in pushing Nations FC to second place on the Ghana Premier League table this season after nine games.
Simpson’s journey reflects his commitment and resilience; he missed only three games last season, making 31 appearances and establishing himself as a key player in the local league.
The giant defender’s selection by head coach Otto Addo comes at a time when Black Stars are focused on securing a place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars will take on Angola at Estadio 11 de Novembro in Luanda on Friday, November 15 before facing Niger at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday, November 18, 2024.
