Ernest Nuamah and Mohammed Kudus start as Otto Addo names Black Stars’ line-up against Niger

The head coach of the Black Stars, Otto Addo, has announced his starting eleven as the team prepares to face Niger in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium on November 18, 2024.

Manaf Nurudeen will be in goal after an impressive performance against Angola, where he only conceded one goal to secure a draw.

In defence, Kingsley Schindler, Nathaniel Adjei, Razak Simpson, and Terry Yegbe will play as centre-backs and wing-backs.

In midfield, Nuamah will take on the number 10 role, supported by Isaac Afful and Ibrahim Sulemana in central midfield.

Up front, Ransford Yeboah and Mohammed Kudus will lead the attack as the two forwards.

Despite the outcome, Ghana will not qualify for the 2025 AFCON due to a series of disappointing results in previous matches.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 16:00 GMT.
