Southampton winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has successfully secured his position in the final squad of the Black Meteors for the highly anticipated 2023 Afcon U-23.
Initially, Sulemana had withdrawn from consideration, but to everyone’s surprise, his name, along with Kwadwo Opoku from the MLS, has been included in the final team.
Sulemana, formerly of FC Nordsjaelland, was involved in the Black Stars’ uneventful goalless draw against Madagascar in the Afcon 2023 qualifiers on Sunday, June 18, 2023.
Joining Sulemana in the squad are notable players such as Danlad Ibrahim, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh, Zubairu Ibrahim, and Emmanuel Essiam.
Ghana’s first match in the tournament will be against Congo on Sunday at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
On Tuesday, June 27, 2023, Ghana will face the host nation, Morocco, in their second Group stage match at the same venue, before concluding the group stage with a match against Guinea at the Grand Stade de Tanger.
