Asante Kotoko have patted goalkeeper Felix Annan on the back for making Ghana’s final 23-mans squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and consoled Abdul Fatawu Safiu who was dropped.
Annan was a sure bet to make it to the tournament in Egypt after being named as one of three goalkeepers in the provisional squad.
The former WAFA gloves man is now set to participate in his first major senior international tournament.
But his clubmate Safiu could not make the final cut for this month showpiece which starts on 21 June, 2019.
A statement on Kotoko’s Twitter account read: ‘’CONGRATULATIONS to @van_felix12 for making the Black Stars final AFCON 2019 squad and also to @fatawusafui for making the initial provisional list. The #AKSC family is proud of you both.’’
Ghana begin their campaign against Benin on 24 June, 2019 in Group F before engaging Guinea Bissau and Cameroon.
