Austria head coach Ralf Rangnick has named his squad for the international friendly against the Ghana national football team on Friday, March 27, 2026, at Ernst Happel Stadium, as both sides prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The squad features a mix of experienced players and emerging talents:
Carney Chukwuemeka, the Borussia Dortmund midfielder who recently switched allegiance from England, could make his Austria debut.
Captain David Alaba of Real Madrid will lead the team in their first World Cup in 28 years.
Young midfielders Paul Wanner (PSV Eindhoven) and Konrad Laimer (Bayern Munich) provide energy and depth.
Defender Kevin Danso, born in Austria to Ghanaian parents, may face the country of his heritage.
The match offers Austria a chance to test their squad against strong opposition, while Ghana uses it to fine-tune preparations ahead of the World Cup in North America.
