Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has confirmed that Black Stars head coach Otto Addo will announce the team’s final squad for the 2026 World Cup on June 1.
Ghana, drawn in Group I, will face Panama, England, and Croatia at the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico next summer.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Asante Twum explained that all qualified nations are required to announce their provisional squads on May 11, with final submissions due by midnight on June 1.
“All qualified teams, including the Black Stars of Ghana, are mandated by FIFA to announce their provisional squad on April 11, 2026. The final squads for the tournament must be announced before midnight on June 1, 2026,” he said.
He added that Ghanaian players performing well domestically or abroad will all be considered for selection.
“Every Ghanaian player with a strong performance is closely monitored by the technical team, and regardless of where they play, they will be given a call-up,” Asante Twum noted.
The Black Stars will open their World Cup campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, before facing England in Boston on June 23. Their final group match against Croatia is scheduled for June 27 in Philadelphia.
Next year’s tournament will mark Ghana’s fifth appearance at football’s biggest stage, having previously competed in 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022. The team’s most memorable run came in 2010, when they reached the quarter-finals in South Africa.
