Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has released the official 23-man squad list for the international friendly against Mexico on May 22.
This selection marks Queiroz’s first squad announcement since taking charge in April 2026 and features a mix of European-based stars, domestic Ghana Premier League talents, and key returnees.
See the full list below.
For the goalkeepers, they are Solomon Agbasi (Accra Hearts of Oak SC), Paul Reverson (Ajax FC), and Gidios Aseako (Dreams FC).
Defenders also include Oscar Oppong (Granada), Ebenezer Adade (Dreams FC), Ebenezer Annan (St Etienne), Manu Duah (San Diego FC), Nathaniel Adjei (Lorient), Razak Simpson (Nations FC), Dacosta Antwi (Anderlecht Futures), and Ebenezer Abban (Heart of Lions).
Midfielders are Emmanuel Edjei (Dundee United), Abdul Aziz Issah (Barcelona B), Augustine Boakye (St Etienne), Majeed Ashimeru (La Louviere), Rak-Sakyi Jesurun (Stoke City), and Salim Adams (Medeama SC) and Majeed Ashimeru who returns following a long injury layoff.
The Forwards/Wingers include Daniel Agyei (Kocaelispor), Felix Afena-Gyan (Amedspor), Ibrahim Osman (Birmingham City), Prince Amoako (Nordsjaelland), Francis Amuzu (Gremio), Joseph Opoku (Zulte-Waregem) and Felix Afena-Gyan, who returns for the first time since May 2025.
The squad notably excludes veteran mainstays like Thomas Partey and Jordan Ayew, as Queiroz uses this final pre-tournament window to evaluate depth before Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup opener against Panama on June 17.
