Belgian-based duo Lawrence Agyekum and Abu Francis are to play for the Black Stars at the 2025 Unity Cup to be staged in London later this month.
The two players' availability was confirmed following the completion of their season with Cercle Brugge on Friday night.
The midfielders featured in Cercle Brugge's relegation playoff game against Patro with Agyekum starting the game, while Francis came off the bench to record his 100th appearance for the club.
Agyekum has one appearance for the senior national team after coming off the bench in the 5-0 win over Chad in March during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
He was an unused substitute in the win over Madagascar three days later.
Francis, on the other hand, has four appearances under his belt, having debuted for the team in March 2024.
Ghana will face Nigeria on May 28 in their first game at the tournament. One of the two teams will play in the third-place playoff game or the final on May 31.
Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica are the other teams involved.
