Ghana Announces Squad for 2026 FIFA World Cup

The squad includes Jordan Ayew, Thomas Partey and Antoine Semenyo, while injured Mohammed Kudus and Alexander Djiku were left out.

  • Head coach Carlos Queiroz announced Ghana's 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup late Monday, submitting the final selection just before the FIFA deadline.
  • Injury concerns forced several roster adjustments, as Mohammed Kudus failed to recover from a thigh injury while Mohammed Salisu ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament; Alexander Djiku was replaced by Derrick Luckassen.
  • Captain Jordan Ayew, Ghana's all-time cap leader with 133 appearances, anchors the squad alongside returning defender Baba Abdul Rahman after a three-year absence and midfielder Thomas Partey.
  • The Black Stars open Group L play against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, then face England in Foxborough before concluding group stage action against Croatia in Philadelphia on June 27.
  • Ghana secured its fifth World Cup qualification by winning its group by six points, aiming to surpass its 2010 quarter-final run, the nation's best tournament performance to date.
