Dansoman Liberty Sports Academy sensation Yussif Saani has earned a call-up to the Ghana U20 national team as part of the latest screening phase ahead of next years WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship.
The 17-year-old forward, the standout performer in the maiden MTN Elite U19 Championship, will join the second batch of selected players at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram on Monday, November 24, 2025.
Saanis rise has been rapid and well-deserved. His exceptional displays in the Elite U19 Championship, marked by flair, composure and impressive technical quality, firmly established him as one of the most exciting young talents in the country. He further enhanced his reputation with an eye-catching performance in the recent SBE Tournament in Accra, where he once again demonstrated his immense potential.
