The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has disclosed that the Black Stars squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers will be announced during the week of September 21–25, 2026.
According to him, head coach Carlos Queiroz has already submitted the final squad list to the GFA for further assessment before the official announcement.
He emphasized that the Black Stars Management Committee and the GFA Executive Council will review the list for ratification and complete all necessary processes before the announcement.
“Coach Carlos Queiroz has submitted his squad for the upcoming games, and it is currently going through the required processes. It will first go before the Management Committee and then the Executive Council. Once all the necessary processes have been completed, invitations will be sent to the selected players. Hopefully, the squad will be officially announced next week,” Asante Twum said in an interview with Akoma 89.7FM.
In the AFCON qualifiers, Ghana have been drawn in Group C alongside neighbors Côte d’Ivoire, The Gambia, and Somalia.
The Black Stars will begin their qualifying campaign away to Côte d’Ivoire at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké on September 24, 2026.
They will then return home to face The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium three days later on September 27, 2026.
