Hibernian announces Joseph Wollacott’s selection in the final Black Stars squad.
Hibernian FC has announced that their goalkeeper, Joseph Wollacott, has secured a spot in Ghana’s roster for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
While the final list from Black Stars’ coach Chris Hughton will be revealed on Monday, Hibernian has stated that Wollacott will represent Ghana in the Cote d’Ivoire tournament, as mentioned on their official website.
The prestigious event is set to kick off on Saturday, January 13, 2024, and conclude on Sunday, February 11, 2024, in Cote d’Ivoire.
Wollacott marked his international debut for the Black Stars against Zimbabwe during a 2022 World Cup qualifier in October 2021 and has since secured 11 caps for Ghana.
Following an injury that prevented him from participating in the Qatar World Cup, Wollacott anticipates making his debut in a significant tournament with the Black Stars.
Born in England, Wollacott is poised to vie with Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Richard Ofori for the primary goalkeeper position during the AFCON.
Ghana finds itself grouped with Cape Verde, Egypt, and Mozambique in Group B for the tournament.
