Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has confirmed that Otto Addo will announce his final Black Stars squad for the 2026 World Cup on June 1.
Ghana has been housed in Group I alongside Panama, England and Croatia for the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico next summer.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Asante Twum confirmed that all qualified teams have been tasked to release their provisional squad on April 11, while the final squad for the tournament must be announced 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.”
Asante Twum further said that every Ghanaian player who is playing and competing will have a chance to earn a call-up ahead of the tournament.
“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.”
Ghana will begin their campaign against Panama on June 17 in Toronto, before travelling to Boston for the meeting with England on June 23.
The Black Stars’ final group match comes against Croatia on June 27 in Philadelphia.
The appearance will be Ghana’s fifth on football’s biggest stage, having previously played at the 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2022 editions, their standout run being the memorable quarter-final finish in South Africa in 2010
