The Ghana Football Association has officially announced the call-up of young defender Jonas Adjetey for the upcoming doubleheader against Sudan in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. Adjetey replaces Kingsley Schindler, who will miss the matches due to an injury he sustained during Samsunspor’s 3-1 win over Adana Demirspor.
At just 20 years old, Adjetey has made a name for himself in the Swiss Super League, demonstrating significant defensive skills. His football journey began at Teshie Football Academy, followed by stints at Accra Great Olympics and Berekum Chelsea, before securing a place at FC Basel.
The matches are scheduled for October 10 and October 15, 2024, with Ghana hosting the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium. The return leg will take place at Benina, Libya. Currently sitting third in Group F with only one point from two matches, the Black Stars are in urgent need of victories to improve their chances of qualifying for the tournament in Morocco. Securing wins in both matches against Sudan is vital for Ghana’s aspirations on the continental stage.
