Ghana is set to make some noise during the 2026 World Cup after finishing first in CAF Group I, winning eight games and only losing one across ten matches.
The nation’s top finish was during the 2010 World Cup, where they made it to the quarterfinals.
That said, here’s a full list of Ghana’s squad and the clubs represented by each of the 26 players competing in the World Cup.

All Eyes Will Be On Antoine Semenyo
Ghana’s star, Antoine Semenyo, will be the player to watch for the Black Stars, with ESPN’s Anish Anand providing more context surrounding Semenyo.
“Antoine Semenyo was one of the most in-form forwards last season. He scored 17 goals for both Bournemouth and Manchester City in the Premier League last season and helped the latter to win two domestic trophies. There’s no question about Ghana’s main player and they will depend on him to take them into the next round.
Strangely, Semenyo’s numbers with the national team haven’t been impressive. The 26-year-old has played 34 games since 2022 but scored just three goals so far.”
Ghana will play its matches in Group L. The Black Stars open their World Cup on June 17 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where they will take on Panama. Six days later, they take on one-time champion England in Foxborough, Massachusetts. For their final group stage match, they travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to take on Croatia on June 27. The two group winners and the eight best third-placed teams from each group will advance to the next stage.
Ghana Schedule
- June 17 – Panama (7 pm EST)
