Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has announced his squad for Ghana’s decisive 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against the Central African Republic (CAR) and Comoros.
The list features a blend of experience and youthful talent, with key players Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham Hotspur), Thomas Partey (Villarreal CF), and Inaki Williams (Athletic Club) all included.
Leicester City duo Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, as well as Atalanta winger Kamaldeen Sulemana, also make the cut.
In goal, St. Gallen’s Lawrence Ati Zigi is joined by Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare and Joseph Anang of St. Patrick’s Athletic.
The defense sees stalwarts like Alexander Djiku (Spartak Moscow), Mohammed Salisu (AS Monaco), and Gideon Mensah (Auxerre) alongside promising names such as Caleb Yirenkyi (FC Nordsjælland) and Kojo Peprah Oppong (OGC Nice).
In midfield, Elisha Owusu (Auxerre), Kwasi Sibo (Real Oviedo), Prince Owusu (Medeama SC), and Mohammed Kudus all made the list.
The attack is spearheaded by Inaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo (AFC Bournemouth), and Joseph Paintsil (LA Galaxy), with Christopher Bonsu Baah (Al-Qadsiah) handed another chance to impress.
Ghana will face the Central African Republic on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at the Stade El Abdi in El Jadida, Morocco, before returning home to host Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 12, 2025.
The Black Stars, who currently top Group I with 19 points, need just one more victory to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
