Head Coach Carlos Queiroz has officially named Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as the Black Stars prepare for their fifth appearance on football’s biggest stage.
The experienced Portuguese tactician unveiled a balanced squad comprising seasoned internationals and emerging talents, reflecting Ghana’s ambition to make a strong impact at the expanded 48-team tournament.
Speaking after announcing the squad, Queiroz expressed confidence in the players selected, emphasizing the importance of unity, discipline, and determination as Ghana seeks to compete with the world’s best nations.
“We have selected players who have demonstrated commitment, quality, and a strong desire to represent Ghana. The World Cup is the highest level of football, and we must be ready to fight for every point and every opportunity,” Queiroz said.
The squad features several key figures who played vital roles in Ghana’s qualification campaign, alongside promising young players who have impressed for their clubs both locally and abroad.
The Black Stars will be aiming to surpass their historic quarter-final achievement at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, where Ghana came within touching distance of becoming the first African nation to reach the semi-finals.
Ghana’s football fans will be hoping the blend of experience and youthful energy can propel the four-time African champions to a memorable campaign in North America.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled to take place across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will be the largest edition in the tournament’s history, featuring 48 nations competing for the prestigious trophy.
With preparations entering their final phase, the Black Stars are expected to begin an intensive training programme before departing for the tournament, as the nation rallies behind the team in pursuit of global success.
