Daniel Agyei Ready to Seize Black Stars Opportunity After First Call-Up
Daniel Agyei has expressed immense pride after receiving his first invitation to the Ghana national football team, describing the moment as a lifelong dream fulfilled.
The London-born forward, who currently plays for Kocaelispor, is among four debutants named by head coach Otto Addo for Ghana’s upcoming international friendlies against Austria national football team and Germany national football team.
Ghana will face Austria in Vienna on March 27 before travelling to Stuttgart to take on Germany three days later, with both fixtures forming a key part of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Reacting to his call-up, Agyei shared his excitement and determination to make the most of the opportunity.
“It’s a massive honour to be called up to the Ghana national team. As a player you always dream of representing your country at this level, so to finally get the opportunity means everything to me, and I’m ready to do my all for the shirt,” Agyei said.
The 28-year-old has earned recognition following his performances in the Turkish top flight, where he has scored four goals in 22 league appearances this season
Before his move to Turkey in 2025, Agyei developed his career in England, featuring for clubs including Burnley F.C., Leyton Orient F.C., Crewe Alexandra F.C., and Oxford United F.C..
The friendlies will serve as a crucial test for Ghana ahead of the World Cup, where they have been drawn into a challenging group alongside England national football team, Croatia national football team, and Panama national football team.
