Ghana Coach Otto Addo Names 23-man Squad For Chad, Madagascar World Cup Qualifiers

Ghana coach Otto Addo has named a 23-man squad for next week’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.

The team, led by captain Jordan Ayew, includes three home-based players: Benjamin Asare of Accra Hearts of Oak, Kamaradini Mamudu of Medeama SC and Razak Simpson of Nations FC.

Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey returns to the squad after a six month hiatus in which period Ghana played four Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Kamal Deen Sulemana of Southampton F.C. has also returned to the squad while C.D. Lugo’s Jerry Afriyie retains his place in the team after impressing in the match against Niger in November last year.

The team will then fly to Morocco for the next assignment against Madagascar scheduled for Monday, March 24, 2025.
