Carlos Queiroz submits Black Stars squad for AFCON qualifiers against Côte d’Ivoire and Gambia

Ghana's head coach Carlos Queiroz has presented his squad for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is expected to confirm in the coming days. The GFA's communications director, Henry Asante Twum, informed that the team is currently undergoing the association's approval procedure before invitations are dispatched to the chosen athletes.

The list will initially be evaluated by the GFA's Management Committee before being forwarded to the Executive Council for final endorsement. Twum confirmed in a recent interview that the squad submission has been made and is now being processed through the mandated steps. "Coach Carlos Queiroz has submitted his squad for the upcoming games, and it is currently going through the required processes," stated Twum.

"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." Ghana will commence their AFCON qualifying campaign away to Côte d'Ivoire in Bouaké on September 24, followed by a home fixture against The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium five days later.

These matches mark some of Queiroz's initial competitive duties as he strives to steer the Black Stars back to the continental finals after they failed to qualify for the last edition.
