Top five players left out of Ghana’s FIFA World Cup 2026 final squad ft. Mohammed Kudus

The Black Stars will face Panama in their opening group stage game.

The final list of players to represent the Ghana national football team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been unveiled. They are preparing heavily to battle on the world stage.

The Carlos Queiroz-led side recently faced Mexico in a friendly fixture and it did not end in their favour. They faced a 0-2 defeat, but they have now announced the final squad for the mega competition and are yet to face Wales in an international friendly before the World Cup.

They will only be looking to build momentum with a win. The Black Stars are going to face tough competition in the group stage as they will take on Panama, England and Croatia.

Top stars like Antoine Semenyo and Inaki Williams are going to represent the Ghana national football team in FIFA’s flagship tournament. There are at least 13 debutants in the squad for them. With a mixture of experience and youth, they will be looking for some positive outcomes.

Top players left out of Ghana’s World Cup squad

Mohammed Kudus

The Tottenham Hotspur star could’ve played an important role for the Ghana national football team, but has been left out due to an injury. In 46 matches for the Black Stars, he has scored 13 goals. Mohammed Kudus is not going to represent Ghana at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Andre Ayew

The 36-year-old has not been included in Ghana’s final squad despite making 120 appearances in the past. The reason can be his drop in performance. Andre Ayew has only scored one goal for his club NAC Breda this season.

Solomon Agbasi

Solomon Agbasi has come up with decent performances for his club this season. He was also included in the preliminary Ghana squad for the World Cup. The 25-year-old has not been called up to be present in the final squad. This might be because of competition for places.

Alexander Djiku

Alexander Djiku was a decent centre-back option for the Ghana national football team in recent years. He did make it to the preliminary squad, but wasn’t included in the final list of players. The 31-year-old currently plays for Spartak Moscow and his performances have not been up to the mark this season.

Paul Reverson

Another goalkeeper who has not been included in Ghana’s final squad for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The Ajax man was present in the preliminary squad, but due to competition for the position, he might not have received a call-up from Carlos Queiroz.
