Ghanaian forward Joel Kojo has switched nationality to play for the Kyrgyzstan national team following approval from the International Football Federation (FIFA).

The 24-year-old has almost spent his career in the Kyrgyz Premier League, featuring for FK Dordoi Bishkek and FK Alay Osh.

Kojo became the champion of the Kyrgyz Republic in 2021 and the winner of the Country Cup in 2020, as well as the Super Cup of the Kyrgyz Republic in 2018, 2021 and 2022 whilst playing for the two clubs.

Currently, Joel Kojo plies his trade for Dinamo Samarqand in the Uzbekistan Pro Liga and has been fantastic so far.

The forward has scored 8 goals and provided one assist in 9 appearances in the 2023 campaign. He has also scored once in three appearances in the Uzbekistan Cup.

Kojo is in line for his first international match for Kyrgyzstan having completed his nationality switch.

He is expected to feature when Kyrgyzstan take on Iran in the CAFA Nations Cup on Friday.
