AFCON 2027Q: Ronald Donkor receives maiden Black Stars call-up for Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia and Morocco games
Ghana is set to face Côte d'Ivoire and Gambia in the opening two games of the AFCON qualifiers before taking on Morocco in Tangier in an international friendly.
Head coach Carlos Queiroz has included New York Red Bulls' Ronald Donkor in Ghana's 24-man squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. This marks Donkor's maiden call-up to the Black Stars. The 21-year-old midfielder will compete in the qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and Gambia, followed by an international friendly against Morocco in Morocco.
Donkor's inclusion comes following an impressive season with the Red Bulls, where he has directly contributed to six goals across all competitions, with two goals and four assists to his name. His consistent performances have seen him maintain an 85% pass accuracy, create 35 chances, and demonstrate a strong work rate in midfield.
Donkor joined the Red Bulls in July 2022 from JMG Bamako and has made 23 appearances in the MLS this season, starting in all of them and averaging 83 minutes per game. He has also featured in the US Open Cup twice.
