Danish-born Ghanaian defender Graham Ankamafio has been named in FC Copenhagen’s squad for their UEFA Champions League encounter against Napoli.
The 18-year-old centre-back, who stands at 198cm, is regarded as one of Copenhagen’s highly rated young defenders.
He has been a regular feature for Denmark’s junior national teams at U15, U16 and U17 levels but revealed in June last year that he remains open to representing Ghana at senior international level should the opportunity arise.
Graham Ankamafio has been called up to join FC Copenhagen’s first team for their winter camp in Spain.

Ankamafio featured prominently for Copenhagen’s U19 side during the first half of the 2025/2026 season before earning a promotion to the first team ahead of the second round of the campaign.
He has already made a positive impression at senior level, providing an assist in a friendly against Sturm Graz during the club’s winter training tour in Spain, further underlining his rapid development.
His inclusion in the squad for the high-profile Champions League tie against Napoli marks another significant milestone in the young defender’s career.
