Ghana coach Otto Addo has announced a 23-man squad list for the all-important 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar later this month.
However, twelve players could not make the Black Stars squad for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers due to injuries.
They include Alidu Seidu, Tariq Lamptey, Brandon Thomas Asante, Abdul Mumin, Joseph Aidoo, Abdul Manaf Nuruudeen, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Baba Idrissu, Ibrahim Sulemana, Daniel Kofi Kyereh, Majeed Ashimeru, and Joseph Painstil.
The team will assemble on Monday, March 17, 2025, and train for four days before hosting Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, 2025.
The Black Stars will then travel to Morocco to face Madagascar in another Group I match on Monday, March 24, 2025.
Ghana are currently second in Group I with nine points from four matches after securing three wins and one defeat, leveling them with Comoros.
Ghana's qualifying campaign began with a 1-0 win over Madagascar, followed by a loss to Comoros.
They bounced back with consecutive victories over Mali and the Central African Republic in June last year to keep their chances of qualification intact.
