In the run-up to Ghana’s crucial clash against the Central African Republic (CAR) in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, all eyes are on the inspirational rise of in-form Medeama striker Jonathan Sowah.
The 24-year-old sensation, who earned his maiden call-up to the Black Stars, is a testament to his exceptional performances with his club, Medeama SC.
Coach Evans Adotey, the mastermind behind Medeama’s success and Sowah’s meteoric rise, expressed his delight at the young striker’s achievements.
“It has always been his mother’s dream to see him don the Black Stars jersey, I’m very happy for him because he deserves it; I’m very proud”, Coach Adotey revealed.
Sowah’s remarkable journey to national recognition began with his outstanding contributions to Medeama’s triumphant 2022/23 Ghana Premier League campaign, where he scored 12 goals in just 18 appearances.
His incredible form was highlighted by a pivotal goal against Remo Stars in the CAF Champions League, a moment that ultimately led Medeama to victory after a tense shootout in Nigeria.
Sowah’s debut call-up to the Black Stars squad was met with a breathtaking performance on the field, as he single-handedly inspired Medeama to victory with a brace against Dreams FC.
Despite a late resurgence by Dreams FC, Sowah’s heroics secured yet another trophy for Medeama.
The final round of qualifiers, set to unfold at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday, September 7, promises to be a high-stakes encounter.
Ghana must avoid defeat to secure their place in the highly-anticipated tournament, while CAR is poised to give their all for a chance at qualification.
