Semenyo, Partey Included as Ghana Name World Cup Squad Under Queiroz

Posted : 02 June 2026

Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz has named a 26-man squad for the FIFA World Cup, with selections confirmed at the last moment ahead of the tournament. The squad includes key names such as Antoine Semenyo and midfielder Thomas Partey as the Black Stars prepare for their fifth appearance at the competition.

Ghana will face Wales in Cardiff in a warm-up friendly before travelling to North America for the tournament, where they have been drawn in a challenging Group L alongside England, Croatia, and Panama. Their World Cup campaign begins on 17 June against Panama.

Partey, who currently plays for Villarreal, has been included in the midfield despite being due to stand trial in the UK at a later date on rape and sexual assault charges, which he denies. His selection remains one of the most discussed aspects of the squad announcement.

Veteran forward Jordan Ayew has been named captain of the team, leading a group that blends experience and youth. However, Ghana will be without injured Tottenham winger Mohammed Kudus, who misses out due to fitness concerns.

Semenyo arrives at the tournament in strong form following an impressive club season, scoring 11 goals in 27 appearances after his move from Bournemouth to Manchester City in January for a reported £62.5 million. His inclusion adds attacking strength to Ghana’s frontline options.

The full squad features players spread across top European leagues, reflecting the depth of talent available to Queiroz as he prepares his team for a difficult group stage. Ghana will be aiming to progress beyond the early rounds in a competitive tournament hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
