Danish-born Ghanaian defender Graham Ankamafio has been named in FC Copenhagen\u2019s squad for their UEFA Champions League encounter against Napoli.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old centre-back, who stands at 198cm, is regarded as one of Copenhagen\u2019s highly rated young defenders. <\/p>\n

He has been a regular feature for Denmark\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Ankamafio featured prominently for Copenhagen\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

He has already made a positive impression at senior level, providing an assist in a friendly against Sturm Graz during the club\u2019s winter training tour in Spain, further underlining his rapid development.<\/p>\n

His inclusion in the squad for the high-profile Champions League tie against Napoli marks another significant milestone in the young defender\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
