Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, has named a 23-man squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
The team, captained by Jordan Ayew, includes three home-based players: Benjamin Asare from Accra Hearts of Oak, Kamaradini Mamudu from Medeama SC, and Razak Simpson from Nations FC.
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey returns to the squad after a six-month absence during which Ghana played four Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Kamal Deen Sulemana of Southampton F.C. also makes his return, while C.D. Lugo’s Jerry Afriyie keeps his spot after an impressive performance against Niger in November.
Belgium-based Christopher Bonsu Baah, who plays for Genk, earns his first call-up. Bonsu, a left-footed right winger who can also operate as an attacking midfielder, is a new addition to the team.
Ghana will begin their camp on Monday, March 17, 2025, and will train for four days before facing Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, 2025. The team will then travel to Morocco for their match against Madagascar, set for Monday, March 24, 2025.
Currently, Ghana sits second in Group I with nine points, having won three matches and lost one.
