Black Stars head coach, Carlos Queiroz, has announced a 24-man squad set to represent Ghana in this month’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia, as well as the international friendly against Morocco.
He announced the squad on September 18, through an official release by the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
The squad features several players from Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, two debutants and the return of Mohammed Kudus, who missed the tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States through injury.
Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare retains his place alongside Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Joseph Anang.
Nathaniel Adjei has earned a return to the Black Stars squad after nearly a year away, with the defender catching the eye with his performances for French Ligue 1 side Lorient.
New faces have also been added to the squad, with SV Elversberg’s Jan Gyamerah and New York Red Bulls’ Ronald Donkor receiving their first call-ups after strong displays for their clubs.
Mohammed Kudus is also back in the squad after recovering from the injury that kept him out for seven months and forced him to miss the World Cup.
Brighton and Hove Albion forward Ibrahim Osman and Sassuolo midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana have also been recalled by Queiroz.
