Ghanaian midfielder, Michael Baidoo has expressed his joy and pride after receiving his first call-up to the national team, the Black Stars.
Baidoo, who made his debut for Ghana in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations doubleheader against Sudan, described the experience as something truly special.
“It was a special feeling,” Baidoo said, reflecting on his debut. “I was really excited to get a call-up, and it was an honour to represent my country. It was a childhood dream to be part of the national team, so when I was called to come on, I was really excited. My family was there, and all my friends were there to support me.”
Baidoo received a late call-up to the squad, stepping in for Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey, who was sidelined due to illness.
His debut marks a significant milestone in his career and highlights the emerging talent in Ghanaian football.
As he looks to build on this experience, Baidoo is eager to contribute to the team’s efforts in upcoming matches.
Baidoo has 14 goals and seven assists in 35 games across all competitions for Elfsborg this year.
