Otto Addo Praises Ghana Premier League Ahead of Unity Cup

Black Stars coach Otto Addo has heaped praise on the quality of the Ghana Premier League.

He highlights its importance in developing talented players who can compete at the national team level.

Ahead of the Unity Cup games in London, Addo commended the Ghanaian top-flight, citing its contribution to the growth of local players.

The 23-man squad announced for the Unity Cup features four local players: Kwame Opoku of Asante Kotoko, Kamaridini Mamudu of Medeama SC, Benjamin Asare of Hearts of Oak, and Razak Simpson of Nations FC. Addo believes these players have the potential to make an impact on the national team.

“I rate the league very high; otherwise, we wouldn’t have players in our squad who can compete on that level,” Addo said. “If you’ve watched our recent games, we’ve always had local players in our squad and also playing.” He expressed his excitement to see these players perform on the big stage.

Ghana will face Nigeria on Wednesday, May 28, at the Gtech Community Stadium, with the winner advancing to the final against either Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday, May 31.

Addo’s praise for the Ghana Premier League underscores the league’s role in nurturing talent and providing a platform for players to showcase their skills.
