Ofori has started all three national team matches since the return of Kwesi Appiah as national team coach, most recently the 2-1 loss to the USA in a friendly.

He also played at the African Nations Cup finals in Gabon earlier this year, featuring in the third-place play-off where Ghana lost 1-0 to Burkina Faso.

Ofori helped WA All Stars to the Ghana Premier League title in 2016, and the year before was named Goalkeeper of the Season in the country.
