Christopher Bonsu Baah marked a significant moment in his career by making his debut for the Ghanaian national team at the Unity Cup in the United Kingdom.
The 19-year-old winger from KRC Genk featured in both matches of the friendly tournament, offering glimpses of his exciting potential despite Ghana finishing third overall.
The call-up represented Baah’s first inclusion in the senior national team squad, and the young forward did not hide his pride.
Speaking to Angel FM after the tournament, he reflected on the achievement with emotion: “It was a great feeling to be selected for the national team. This selection means a lot to me as a young player. Ghana is blessed with a lot of talent, so being part of the recent selection means I’m doing something right.” His comments underline both his appreciation for the opportunity and his awareness of the competitive standards within the national setup.
Though he did not find the net during Ghana’s matches against Nigeria and Trinidad and Tobago, Bonsu Baah delivered a performance that was anything but anonymous.
The winger’s pace, movement, and creativity injected energy into Ghana’s attack and kept opposing defenders on alert.
His efforts played a vital role in broadening the team’s attacking options—an element that head coach Otto Addo appeared eager to explore.
Ghana ended the tournament with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago, a result that secured third place and served as a confidence boost following the earlier defeat to Nigeria.
While the headlines may have belonged to the goalscorers, Bonsu Baah’s dynamic play on the flanks did not go unnoticed, helping to stretch defenses and create valuable space for his teammates.
Looking ahead, the winger’s emergence could not come at a better time for the Black Stars.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers approaching, Ghana’s technical team will be assessing their squad depth and versatility.
Bonsu Baah’s performances suggest he could soon become a regular feature in the team’s plans.
This first taste of senior international football marks a strong foundation on which the teenager can build.
For Ghana, it signals the arrival of another promising talent eager to contribute to the nation’s ambitions on the continental and global stage.
