Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz is expected to unveil the Black Stars’ provisional squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup later this week, ahead of the tournament in North America.
The four-time African champions will be among the 48 nations competing at the global showpiece, which will be hosted across the USA, Canada and Mexico this summer.
Ghana have been drawn in Group L alongside Panama, England and Croatia.
In line with FIFA regulations, all participating countries are required to submit provisional squads before confirming their final lists for the tournament.
Queiroz, who recently replaced Otto Addo on a short-term basis ahead of the Mundial, is expected to announce his preliminary squad this week before naming the final team on June 1.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars will test their readiness ahead of the tournament with friendly games against Mexico later this month before wrapping up their pre-tournament games against Wales on June 2.
The Black Stars will open their World Cup campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto before travelling to Boston to face England on June 23.
Ghana will then wrap up their group-stage matches against Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia.
The upcoming tournament will mark Ghana’s fifth appearance at the World Cup, following previous participations in 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2022.
The Black Stars’ best performance came at the 2010 edition in South Africa, where they reached the quarter-finals and narrowly missed out on becoming the first African nation to reach the last four.
After suffering group-stage exits at the 2014 tournament in Brazil and the 2022 edition in Qatar, Ghana will be hoping for a stronger showing this summer.
