Tottenham Hotspurs Defender Kevin Danso has been named in the squad of the Austria national football team for their upcoming international friendly against the Ghana national football team on March 27, as both sides step up preparations ahead of the next cycle of FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Danso, who has established himself as a key figure in Austria’s defence, is expected to play an important role in the match, which will form part of Austria’s build-up programme as they fine-tune their squad ahead of competitive fixtures later in the year.
The 26-year-old centre-back has been a consistent presence in the Austrian national team setup in recent seasons, earning regular call-ups thanks to his strong performances at club level and his leadership qualities in defence. His inclusion adds experience and physical presence to the Austrian back line for the high-profile friendly.
The international friendly between Austria and Ghana is anticipated to provide both teams with a valuable opportunity to assess their squads, test tactical approaches and integrate new players ahead of crucial qualifying matches.
For Ghana, the encounter will serve as an important preparatory game for the Black Stars as they continue to rebuild and strengthen the team in their quest to secure qualification for the next World Cup tournament. The fixture is also expected to attract strong interest from fans of both nations given the competitive nature of recent international friendlies involving the two sides.
