Medeama SC midfielder Etse Dogli has received his first-ever call-up to the Ghana senior national team after being named in the Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia.

The 22-year-old reported to the Black Stars’ camp on Monday as preparations gathered pace for the two crucial qualifying matches at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi.

Dogli’s invitation is the latest reward for his impressive rise in Ghanaian football. The energetic midfielder first made his mark with Heart of Lions, where he established himself as a key member of the Kpando-based side following his Ghana Premier League debut.

He enjoyed an outstanding 2025/26 campaign, making 30 league appearances and scoring two goals, performances that attracted the attention of Medeama SC ahead of the current season.

Since arriving at the Tarkwa-based club, Dogli has seamlessly adapted to his new surroundings and has become an influential figure in Medeama’s midfield.

The youngster has featured in 11 matches across the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League and the CAF Champions League preliminary rounds, impressing with his composure on the ball, tireless work rate and ability to dictate play in the middle of the park.

His consistent displays have now earned him an opportunity to represent Ghana at senior international level for the first time, as the Black Stars continue to inject fresh talent into the squad.

Dogli will be hoping to make the most of his maiden invitation and stake a claim for a regular place in the national team as Ghana push to secure qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars will host Somalia on November 12 before facing the East Africans again on November 16, with both qualifying fixtures scheduled to take place at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi.
