Carlos Queiroz has submitted the list of players for Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. The squad, which includes key players from the Ghanaian league and abroad, is now awaiting approval from the Ghana Football Association (GFA). The selection comes ahead of crucial matches against Ivory Coast and Gambia, which are expected to be pivotal in determining Ghana’s qualification prospects.
The GFA will review the squad before the start of the qualifiers, which are set to begin in early 2025. Queiroz, who took charge of the team in 2023, has emphasized the importance of balance and depth in the squad to ensure competitiveness in the group stage. Several players, including experienced forwards and defensive stalwarts, have been included in the list, with a focus on maintaining a strong team structure.
The matches against Ivory Coast and Gambia will test the Black Stars’ ability to perform under pressure, especially after a mixed campaign in recent international competitions. The GFA’s approval is seen as a critical step before the qualifiers begin, ensuring that the team is well-prepared for the challenges ahead. The outcome of these matches could significantly impact Ghana’s chances of advancing to the next stage of the tournament.
