Kim Lars Björkegren has named a 26-man squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations double-header against Somalia. The squad consists of a blend of home-based players and others who ply their trade abroad.
Captain Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus, Daniel Kofi Kyereh and Alidu Seidu have earned a recall to the side for the two upcoming games.
Jordan Ayew, who missed last month’s qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia, makes a return to the side for the double-header after recovering from a groin injury that kept him out of the previous matches. Also making a return is Tottenham Hotspur forward Mohammed Kudus.
Kudus has not featured for the team in 2026 following an injury that ruled him out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States of America.
German-based midfielder Daniel Kofi Kyereh is also in the frame as he makes a return to the team for the first time in four years following an injury that ruled him out of international football since December 2022.
Kim Lars has also handed call-ups to FC Samartex left-back Isaac Afful, Musa Hamzata of Asante Kotoko and Medeama SC duo Etse Dogli and Emmanuel Annor following their excellent performance in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.
The Black Stars opened camp in Accra on Sunday, November 8, 2026, ahead of the two matches.
Ghana will face the Somalis in the first of the two matches at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12, before battling them again on Monday, November 16, 2026.
