‘Some dreams never fade’ – Daniel Kofi Kyereh reacts to Black Stars return
Daniel Kofi Kyereh has expressed his excitement at returning to the Black Stars after four years away from the national team, describing the honour of representing Ghana as a feeling that has never changed.
Daniel Kofi Kyereh has expressed his elation at rejoining the Ghana national football team, the Black Stars, after a four-year hiatus. The midfielder conveyed his emotional message on social media after being named in interim coach Kim Lars Björkegren's 26-man squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Somalia.
In his post, Kyereh emphasized that "some dreams never fade" and "some feelings never change," reiterating that the honor of representing his country remains as significant to him now as it was four years ago. His return is particularly noteworthy given a lengthy injury spell that sidelined him from international football since December 2022.
Kyereh's last appearance for the Black Stars was during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. His absence from the national team was primarily due to fitness setbacks that disrupted his progress at his club, VfL Osnabrück in Germany. At 30 years old, the midfielder now offers creativity, experience, and versatility to Björkegren's squad as Ghana prepares for the two matches against Somalia.
Kyereh's selection is part of a roster featuring several familiar faces, including captain Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus, Thomas Partey, Mohammed Salisu, and Alidu Seidu. The first match against Somalia is scheduled for Thursday, November 12 at the Sekondi Sports Stadium, with a return fixture set for Monday, November 16, 2026.
