New England Revolution midfielder Gershon Koffie has been called up to international duty by the Black Stars of Ghana.
The selection is Koffie's first at the senior level with Ghana.
Koffie, 25, will join Ghana's national team for its slate of two friendlies, the first coming on Wednesday, June 28 against Mexico at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Koffie will then face United States and Revolution teammates Juan Agudelo and Kelyn Rowe when Ghana plays the U.S. Men's National Team on July 1 at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Conn.
Born in Koforidua, Ghana, Koffie earns his first senior international call up after previously representing the country's Under-20 squad in the 2011 African Youth Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa.
He began his professional career in Ghana's third division with International Allies FC, where he scored 28 goals in four seasons from 2006-09.
The seven-year MLS veteran has appeared in six regular season games, starting five, with New England after beginning the 2017 campaign with Hammarby IF in Sweden.
