Tetteh gained a call up the Black Meteors team who participated in the All African Games in Congo Brazaville as well as the Black Stars B team who were knocked out by Ivory Coast in the CHAN qualifier.

Tetteh’s impressive year was culminated with a call-up to the Black Stars by Avram Grant in November 2015 for Ghana’s World Cup qualifier against Comoros. He made a debut cameo and has been part of the Black Stars team ever since.
