Complete Team Guide

Ghana's World Cup 2026 squad carries one of the tournament's most painful opening stories: Mohammed Kudus scored the goal against Comoros that secured their place at the tournament, then ruptured his quadriceps in January 2026 and is not in this squad. Carlos Queiroz — at his fifth World Cup — has reorganised the attack around Antoine Semenyo (£64m to Manchester City in January), Iñaki Williams (born in Bilbao, chose Ghana in 2022), and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku returning from seven months of ACL rehabilitation. Jordan Ayew captains at 34 with 133 caps. Group L: England, Croatia, Panama.

Road to 2026

Ghana are back at the World Cup after topping their CAF group, and FIFA's team profile makes the decisive details clear: the Black Stars won eight of ten qualifiers and reached the finals on the last day when Mohammed Kudus scored the winner against Comoros. That kind of finish fits Ghana's identity more than a comfortable procession ever could.

Key Players

Mohammed Kudus

Midfielder

West Ham United

FIFA highlighted Kudus as the scorer of the winning goal against Comoros, confirming his importance in Ghana's biggest qualification moment.

Jordan Ayew

Forward

Leicester City

FIFA's Ghana profile says Jordan Ayew scored seven goals in qualifying, making him the team's leading scorer in the campaign.

Thomas Partey

Midfielder

Arsenal

Partey remains crucial whenever Ghana want more midfield control and calmer possession against stronger opponents.

Alexander Djiku

Defender

Fenerbahçe

Djiku gives the defence needed experience and aggression, especially in physically demanding group-stage matches.

Lawrence Ati-Zigi

Goalkeeper

St. Gallen

Ati-Zigi remains an important stabiliser for a side that often plays on the edge emotionally.
