Nations FC defender Razak Simpson has received his first call-up to the Black Stars, a reward for his consistent and standout performances in the Ghana Premier League.
Known for his reliability and defensive solidity, Simpson has played 790 minutes across nine matches this season, anchoring a resilient backline that has secured five clean sheets and helped Nations FC climb to second place in the league.
Simpson’s impressive journey reflects his dedication and resilience. Last season, he missed only three games, making 31 appearances and establishing himself as a key player in the league.
His efforts have now caught the attention of Black Stars head coach Otto Addo, who included him in the squad ahead of Ghana’s crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Ghana faces two must-win games this month, taking on Angola and Niger, with their AFCON qualification hopes also dependent on Sudan’s remaining performances.
For Simpson, this debut call-up offers both recognition for his achievements and valuable experience on the national stage, marking him as a promising defensive asset for Ghana’s future campaigns.
