Carlos Queiroz has officially named Ghana’s final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup following weeks of scouting, analysis and assessment of players eligible to represent the country at the tournament.

The defensive department includes experienced names such as Baba Abdul Rahman, Gideon Mensah and Alidu Seidu.

Jordan Ayew will captain the side once again, while Inaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo, Ernest Nuamah and Christopher Bonsu Baah were all included.
Brandon Thomas-Asante and Prince Kwabena Adu complete the attacking options for the tournament.
