Black Galaxies head coach Kassim Mingle Ocansey has invited a 32‑man squad to camp in Accra as preparations begin for upcoming international assignments, with the focus on building a comprehensive database for continuous monitoring of home‑based talent.
The players are set to assemble at the Erata Hotel on Monday, April 20, 2026, for a structured camping exercise that will include training sessions and at least one friendly match.
Key players in the squad
The squad features several standout domestic performers, most notably Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, who has cemented himself as Ghana’s first‑choice custodian, and his teammate Solomon Agbesi, called up in recognition of his recent form.
Asante Kotoko are represented by defender Patrick Aseidu, midfielder Hubert Gyau, and forward Albert Amoah, underlining the club’s continued importance as a talent pipeline for the Galaxies.
Attack led by Bibiani’s top scorer
Leading the attacking options is Bibiani GoldStars’ Samuel Attah Kumi, who heads into camp as the Ghana Premier League’s top scorer with 12 goals this season. His form in front of goal makes him a central figure in Ocansey’s plans as the team looks to strengthen its attacking depth ahead of upcoming qualifiers and regional tournaments.
GFA’s long‑term talent‑tracking mission
The camping exercise forms part of the Ghana Football Association’s broader strategy to strengthen the Black Galaxies setup and keep a close watch on players in the domestic league. By assembling a large pool of home‑based internationals, the GFA aims to streamline selection, track development, and ensure a smooth pipeline from the GPL into the Black Galaxies and, eventually, the Black Stars setup.
