WAFA SC playmaker Augustine Boakye and Techiman Eleven Wonders winger Salifu Ibrahim have been handed a call up according to media reports.

King Faisal’s prolific attacker Kwame Peprah has also been named in Akonnor's squad.

Augustine Boakye and Salifu Ibrahim have been in top shape in the ongoing Ghana Premier league,  commanding play, and creating goal-scoring opportunities for their teams.
