Derrick Luckassen makes his international debut for Ghana

Pafos FC defender Derrick Luckassen made his international debut for the Ghana national team on March 30, 2026, in a friendly match against Germany. Luckassen entered the game as a substitute in the 56th minute of the match, which ended in a 1-2 defeat for Ghana. Shortly after entering, he contributed to his team's goal by providing a pass from the defense that led to the temporary equalizer. The player received positive feedback for his stability and defensive performance. Off the pitch, Luckassen's contract with Pafos FC is set to expire at the end of the current season, and no renewal agreement has been reached. Since December, the club has stated there is no official development regarding his future. Reports indicate interest from other clubs, including Olympiacos Piraeus, which was linked to the defender in February. The player's upcoming participation in the World Cup is expected to potentially draw further interest from international teams.
