Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has announced a 28-man squad as Ghana intensifies preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, beginning with an international friendly against Wales in Cardiff.
The team, which consists of five goalkeepers, nine defenders, seven midfielders, and seven forwards, began training on Monday, May 25, 2026, at Dragon Park. The camp forms part of Ghana’s final stages of preparation ahead of the global tournament.
Ghana will take on Wales on Tuesday, June 2, in a key friendly designed to test the squad’s readiness and tactical shape ahead of the World Cup.
The squad features several notable returns and fresh inclusions. Baba Abdul Rahman makes a comeback after an impressive season with PAOK FC in Greece, where he recorded 35 appearances, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
Ernest Nuamah of Olympique Lyonnais also returns to the national setup after recovering from a long-term ACL injury that sidelined him for nearly a year.
There are additional recalls for Abdul Mumin of Rayo Vallecano, Augustine Boakye of AS Saint-Étienne, and Alidu Seidu of Stade Rennais.
Ajax youngster Paul Reverson has also been included for assessment as part of long-term planning for the national team.
Following the friendly, the Black Stars will continue their preparations in Cardiff as they build towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Ghana has been drawn in Group L and will face Panama in Toronto, England in Boston, and Croatia in Philadelphia.
