Augustine Boakye earns first Ghana call-up after standout season in France

Augustine Boakye has received his first call-up to the Ghana national team following an impressive campaign with AS Saint-Étienne in France’s Ligue 2, marking a significant step in his international career.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been rewarded after a productive season in which he registered five goals and nine assists, form that has not gone unnoticed by the national team selectors.

His performances in France have helped raise his profile as Ghana continue to assess options in midfield ahead of upcoming major tournaments.

Boakye’s inclusion adds a new attacking and creative dimension to the Black Stars squad, with his ability to contribute both goals and assists seen as a potential boost to the team’s midfield balance.

His selection also reflects a broader willingness within the national setup to integrate in-form players from across European leagues.

For Boakye, the call-up represents an opportunity to establish himself at international level after a consistent season at club level.

While this is his first involvement with the senior squad, he now faces competition for a place in the team as he looks to convert his opportunity into regular selection.

Attention will now turn to how he adapts to the demands of international football and whether he can replicate his club form on the international stage.

Ghana’s technical staff are expected to assess his integration closely during upcoming fixtures, with squad places for future tournaments still open to competition.

The midfielder will be aiming to use his chance to strengthen his case for a more permanent role within the national setup, particularly as Ghana continue their preparations for future qualification campaigns.
