Interim Black Stars head coach Kim Lars Björkegren has announced a 26-man squad for Ghana’s double-header against Somalia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers on November 9, 2026.

The squad has received a major boost with the return of several key players who missed the previous qualifying matches, as Ghana look to strengthen their team and secure victories.

Goalkeepers Benjamin Asare and Lawrence Ati-Zigi have retained their places in the squad and will compete for the starting position.

In defence, Alidu Seidu, Mohammed Salisu and Kojo Oppong Peprah are among the players included to strengthen the team’s backline.

The midfield features Daniel Kofi Kyereh, Thomas Partey and Ibrahim Sulemana, alongside other key players.

In attack, captain Jordan Ayew, Prince Kwabena Adu and Mohammed Kudus are among the players expected to lead Ghana’s offensive efforts.

Ghana will be hoping to secure maximum points against Somalia to revive their qualification campaign.

The Black Stars lost their opening two matches, suffering a 2-0 defeat to Côte d’Ivoire in Bouaké before losing 4-2 to The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium.

This makes the double-header against Somalia crucial to Ghana’s hopes of keeping their qualification campaign alive. The return fixture is scheduled for November 16, 2026.
