2026 World Cup: Two goalkeepers are likely to be dropped from Black Stars' official squad - Sports Minister

The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has declared the Black Stars fully prepared for the 2026 FIFA World Cup while indicating that two players—most likely goalkeepers—are expected to be cut from the current provisional squad.
Head coach Carlos Queiroz has named a 28-man squad, which includes five goalkeepers: Benjamin Asare, Solomon Agbasi, Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Joseph Annag, and Paul Reverson.
The final 26-man squad will be announced on Monday, June 1, ahead of Ghana’s pre-tournament friendly against Wales on June 2 at the Cardiff City Stadium.
"We are ready on all fronts for the World Cup," the Buem MP told TV3.
"The coach will have to drop two players from the 28 preliminary players he has called up.
"The cut of the Black Stars squad from 28 to 26 is likely to come from the goalkeeping unit. They will surely take a cut," Mr Adams added.
Ghana will play another warm-up match against Jamaica on June 10 as part of their final preparations for the tournament.
The Black Stars, making their fifth World Cup appearance, have been drawn in Group L alongside England, Croatia, and Panama.
They will begin their campaign against Panama on June 17 at BMO Field, face England on June 23 at Gillette Stadium, and wrap up the group stage against Croatia on June 27.
Ghana will be hoping to advance beyond the group stage for the first time since their historic quarter-final run at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
