2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers: Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer included in Black Stars squad to face Angola

Published on: 09 March 2023

Hamburger SV right winger Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer has been included in coach Chris Hughton's twenty-five man squad for this month’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola.

The 21-year-old missed out on Ghana's trip to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup but returns to the squad ahead of the two games.

In July 2022, the president of the Ghana FA, Kurt Okraku, announced that Königsdörffer was one of the few players that had officially switched allegiances to represent the Ghanaian senior national team internationally. He debuted with Ghana as a late substitute in a 1–0 friendly win over Nicaragua on 27 September 2022.

Ghana will meet Angola in a double header this month for a spot in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, which will be held in Cote D'Ivoire in January of next year.

The Black Stars will meet Palancras Negras at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Thursday, March 23, 2023, before traveling to Luanda for the return on March 27, 2023.

Ghana is joint top of Group E with four points from two games, having won 3-0 over Madagascar and drawn 1-1 with Central African Republic in June of last year.
