Ghana’s interim coach Lars Björkegren has named a 26-man squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Somalia. The team includes returning stars like Jordan Ayew and Thomas Kudus, who missed recent matches. The squad blends experienced players with in-form Ghana Premier League performers.

The selection comes as Ghana looks to revive its qualification campaign after a mixed performance in previous matches. Ayew, the team captain, is expected to play a key role in the upcoming double-header against Somalia. The squad features a mix of seasoned internationals and younger talents aiming to secure a strong position in the group.

This call-up follows a period of uncertainty for the Black Stars, with several notable players absent from the initial squad. The decision to include both veterans and emerging stars reflects a strategic approach to balance experience with fresh energy. The matches against Somalia are seen as a crucial test for Ghana’s chances in the qualifiers. The team will now prepare for the upcoming fixtures, with the goal of improving its standing in the competition.
