Ghana — 2026 World Cup Squad

Pot the Black Stars into Group L and you have a side nobody fancies drawing. Mohammed Kudus pulls the strings from a Tottenham platform, Thomas Partey shields the back four with the positional sense Villarreal lean on weekly, and the Williams brothers' nation can finally call on Iñaki, whose directness off Athletic's right flank gives Ghana a runner in behind they've lacked for years.

Where this squad really bites is in the forward overload. Antoine Semenyo has carried Bournemouth's front line and brings power and a willingness to drive at defenders one-v-one; Kamal Deen Sulemana adds touch and trickery from Atalanta's left, with Ernest Nuamah at Lyon and Al-Qadsiah's Christopher Bonsu Baah deepening a pool of pace that lets them counter at speed. The identity is clear: sit a touch deeper, win it through Partey, and let the wide men sprint into the gaps.

The storyline writes itself around the Ayews. André, now at Le Havre, and Jordan at Leicester remain the dressing-room link to Ghana's golden generation, and whether the elder statesmen still start or pass the torch to Kudus's lot may decide how far this campaign runs.
