Young Porcupines Midfielder Lawson Kyei Jr Earns Ghana U-17 Screening Call-Up

Young Porcupines midfielder Lawson Kyei Jr, a promising talent from Asante Kotoko’s youth setup, has earned a call-up to the Ghana U-17 national team screening ahead of the TotalEnergies U-17 Africa Cup of Nations.

The dynamic midfielder has been one of the standout performers for the Young Porcupines this season, impressing scouts and national team selectors with his composure, creativity, and vision in midfield. His consistent performances in the juvenile competitions and developmental games for Kotoko’s youth side have now been rewarded with a national opportunity.

Kyei Jr is expected to join the rest of the invited players at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram, where the technical team will assess potential candidates for Ghana’s U-17 squad as preparations intensify for the upcoming continental qualifiers.

Asante Kotoko’s youth development project continues to bear fruit, and Kyei Jr’s call-up serves as further proof of the club’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of football stars.

The young midfielder will be eager to make the most of this chance and fight for a spot in the final team that will represent Ghana at the TotalEnergies U-17 AFCON.
