Black Stars have officially named their provisional squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with 28 players currently in camp ahead of the final stages of preparation for the tournament.
Head coach Carlos Queiroz named the squad for Ghana’s training camp in Cardiff and the upcoming international friendly against Wales as the Black Stars intensify preparations for the Mundial.
The squad includes several notable returnees and experienced stars, with players such as Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, Iñaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo and Fatawu Issahaku making the list.
Speaking on the squad announcement, Director of Communications of the Ghana Football Association, Henry Asante Twum, clarified that the players invited represent the final pool for the World Cup.
“The 28-man squad called up for the Black Stars is the final World Cup squad. Twenty-six of them will make the cut based on the assessment of head coach Carlos Queiroz,” he said.
The Black Stars are expected to play Wales in Cardiff before the technical team makes the final decision on the squad, with two players set to be dropped after the friendly while the remaining 26 players travel to North America for the World Cup.
Ghana will begin their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign against Panama on June 17 before facing England on June 23 and Croatia on June 27 in Group L.
