I rate Ghana Premier League very high, says Otto Addo
Black Stars coach, Otto Addo, has praised the quality of the Ghana Premier League ahead of the Unity Cup games.
The four-time African champions will engage in a four-nation tournament in London this week against Nigeria, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.
The 23-man squad announced on Monday for the games has four local players who are Kwame Opoku of Asante Kotoko, Kamaridini Mamudu of Medeama SC, Benjamin Asare of Hearts of Oak and Razak Simpson of Nations FC.
Speaking ahead of the games, Addo commended the quality of the Ghanaian topflight.
“If you’ve watched our recent games, we’ve always had local players in our squad and also playing,” he said.
“I rate the league very high; otherwise, we wouldn’t have players in our squad who can compete on that level…and I’m looking forward to seeing them on that level,” Addo added.
Ghana will clash with Nigeria on Wednesday, May 28, at the Gtech Community Stadium. The winner will come up against either Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago on Saturday, May 31.
