In a decision shaped by personal reasons, left-back Baba Rahman, representing PAOK, has chosen not to be a part of the squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2023.
Baba Rahman’s absence is noteworthy as he won’t be lacing up his boots to join the team in the tournament. Personal reasons have led the PAOK player to take a step back from participating in AFCON 2023.
While fans may miss seeing Baba Rahman on the pitch, it’s important to respect and understand personal decisions. Football players, like everyone else, sometimes need to prioritize personal matters, and Baba Rahman has made a choice that he feels is right for him at this time.

As AFCON 2023 approaches, the squad will adapt to Baba Rahman’s absence, and other players will step up to fill the position. While he won’t be part of this particular tournament, fans wish Baba Rahman well and hope to see him back on the pitch in future competitions.
