The answer

For Friday prayer, only two adhans (calls to prayer) are legislated: the that existed during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the adhan instituted by Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, when the Muslim population increased. This has remained a to this day. As for a third adhan, it has no basis, unless what is meant by it is the (the call immediately preceding the prayer). What is practiced in some countries, having three adhans for Jumu'ah, is an innovation (Bid'ah).
