Paintsil and Dauda represented Ghana at the FIFA World Cup and were recently named to Black Stars head coach Otto Addo’s technical team.
Addo was appointed as Black Stars head coach to replace Chris Hughton as the lead technical man for Ghana’s National Men’s Team following the disastrous 2023 AFCON campaign that had Ghana fail to progress from the group stage.
Paintsil and Dauda will join the Black Stars in Morocco for friendly games against Nigeria and Uganda on March 22 and March 26.
