Carlos Queiroz has named a 24-man squad for this month’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia, as well as the international friendly against Morocco.
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.
France-based defender Nathaniel Adjei also returns to the Black Stars after almost a year away from the national team, following a strong run of form with Lorient in Ligue 1.
Queiroz has also handed call-ups to Jan Gyamerah of SV Elversberg and Ronald Donkor of New York Red Bulls after impressive performances for their respective clubs.
Kudus makes his return after recovering from the injury that kept him out for seven months and ruled him out of the World Cup.
Brighton and Hove Albion forward Ibrahim Osman and Sassuolo midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana have also been recalled to the squad.
The squad will now begin preparations for a busy international window, starting with a 2027 AFCON qualifier against Côte d’Ivoire on Thursday, September 24.
Ghana will then host The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday, September 29, before travelling to Morocco for an international friendly against the Atlas Lions on Sunday, October 4.
The fixtures will mark Queiroz’s first major test since returning as Black Stars coach, as Ghana begin preparations for the next Africa Cup of Nations campaign.
