While some of them have personally confirmed their inclusion in the squad, others are reportedly among the players selected and have already been informed of their call-ups.

With just a few days to the first match against Somalia on Thursday, November 12, 2026, the interim Black Stars technical team is expected to announce the squad, as fans await the official list.

Ghana 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.
