Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has named Ghana’s final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after months of scouting, analysis and player assessments ahead of the global tournament.
The squad, which blends experienced internationals with several debutants, will represent Ghana at the tournament co-hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States.
In goal, Benjamin Asare, Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Joseph Anang have been selected, with Solomon Agbesi named as an additional squad member.
A key defensive change sees Cyprus-based Derrick Luckassen drafted in to replace Alexander Djiku, who is ruled out with a hamstring injury expected to sideline him for at least six weeks.
The squad also includes a core of experienced players such as Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, Gideon Mensah, Baba Abdul Rahman, Alidu Seidu, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Antoine Semenyo and Iñaki Williams.
Several players are set to make their World Cup debuts, including Jerome Opoku, Abdul Mumin, Kojo Oppong Peprah, Benjamin Asare, Joseph Anang, Kwasi Sibo, Augustine Boakye, Caleb Yirenkyi, Christopher Bonsu Baah, Ernest Nuamah, Brandon Thomas-Asante and Prince Kwabena Adu.
Ghana will fine-tune preparations with a friendly against Wales in Cardiff on June 2 before heading to Washington for final camp activities.
The Black Stars begin their World Cup campaign on June 17 against Panama, followed by Group L matches against England and Croatia.
