Interim Black Stars head coach Kim Lars Björkegren has named a 26-man squad for Ghana’s upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying double-header against Somalia.
The squad features the return of several established Black Stars players, including Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew and Daniel Kofi Kyereh, who are back in the national team setup ahead of the crucial Group C encounters.
Four players have also earned their maiden senior call-ups, with Isaac Afful, Musa Hamzata, Etse Dogli and Emmanuel Annor rewarded for their performances at club level. Their inclusion offers an opportunity to impress as Ghana continues its preparations for the remaining qualifying fixtures.
Other notable names in the squad include Thomas Partey, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Antoine Semenyo’s attacking colleagues Brandon Thomas-Asante and Felix Afena-Gyan, while Benjamin Asare, who plays for Accra Hearts of Oak, retains his place among the goalkeepers.
Ghana will host Somalia on November 12, 2026, before travelling for the return fixture on November 16. Both matches are scheduled to kick off at 3:00 PM GMT.
The Black Stars will be eager to collect maximum points from the two encounters as they seek to ignite hope in Group C and move closer to qualification for the 2027 AFCON tournament.
