In a significant achievement, Nations FC defender Razak Simpson earns a place in Ghana’s provisional squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
Coach Chris Hughton finalized his 55-man squad last week, adhering to CAF regulations.
Among the 12 players selected from the Ghana Premier League, Razak Simpson stands out as a versatile full-back capable of contributing in midfield when required.
His impressive performances in the ongoing 23/24 Ghana Premier League season have caught the attention of the coaching staff, positioning him as a potential asset in the AFCON campaign.
As Hughton evaluates his options and strategies, Razak Simpson aims to secure a place in the final 27-man squad, with the submission deadline set for January 3.
The AFCON tournament is scheduled to commence in Ivory Coast on January 13, featuring Ghana in Group B alongside Cape Verde, Egypt, and Mozambique.
