Queiroz Submits Black Stars Squad For AFCON Qualifiers

Carlos Queiroz, head coach of Ghana's national football team, the Black Stars, has submitted his squad for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, according to the Ghana Football Association (GFA). The final list is anticipated to be announced by the GFA in the coming days. GFA Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum, disclosed that the squad is presently undergoing the necessary approval processes before invitations are extended to the chosen players.

The list will initially be scrutinized by the GFA Management Committee before being forwarded to the Executive Council for final endorsement. Asante Twum expressed optimism about the squad's official announcement, predicting it will be revealed next week. Ghana's qualifying campaign for the tournament will commence with a match against Côte d'Ivoire in Bouaké on September 24, followed by a home game against The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium five days later.

These fixtures mark some of Carlos Queiroz's initial competitive matches as the new Black Stars coach, with the objective of steering Ghana back to the Africa Cup of Nations following their absence in the previous edition.
