Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has recalled goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi to the starting lineup for Ghana’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 clash against Colombia, with Benjamin Asare dropping to the bench after starting the previous match. Ati-Zigi’s return follows confirmation that he is fit to resume his role between the posts.
Ghana will line up with Marvin Senaya, Derrick Luckassen, Jerome Opoku and Gideon Mensah forming the back four in front of Ati-Zigi.
Captain Thomas Partey anchors the midfield alongside Kwasi Sibo and Caleb Yirenkyi, while the attacking trio features Iñaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo and Jordan Ayew.
The Black Stars will be hoping the experienced lineup can overcome a talented Colombian side and secure a place in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup.
Ghana Starting XI:
Lawrence Ati-Zigi; Marvin Senaya, Derrick Luckassen, Jerome Opoku, Gideon Mensah; Thomas Partey, Kwasi Sibo, Caleb Yirenkyi; Iñaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo, Jordan Ayew.
