Black Maidens name final squad for 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup

Ghana's Amputee National Team coach Richard Obeng is resolute in his ambition to have the Black Challenge team bring Ghana and the African continent glory at the 2026 Amputee Football World Cup in Mexico. The team conducted a training session on Thursday at Mensah Sarbah Park, University of Ghana, as preparations heated up for the upcoming tournament.

All 15 players named in the squad were present to enhance their fitness and hone their readiness for the competition. Richard Obeng expressed to JoySports that the players were advancing well in their preparations, "Training has been good. The boys are on course, and we're bringing them back into shape and to their peak."

Ghana's squad has been placed in Group D alongside Angola, Iraq, and Colombia, which promises to be a tough path to the knockout stage. Obeng emphasized that the team would approach each match with unyielding determination, "We’re not going to have it easy from the group stage. Every game we play is a final," he said. "That is how we've psyched our minds, from the technical team to the playing body.

Every team we face is a final game for us, one we are supposed to win to make ourselves, our families, Ghanaians, and the continent as a whole proud."

The Black Challenge team is set to head to Turkey for a camping exercise before heading to Mexico to participate in the 2026 WAFF Amputee Football World Cup.
