The Shadow Squad: Who really picks Ghana's Black Stars?
Carlos Queiroz unveiled Ghana's 28-man squad for 2026 World cup preparation camp on May 25. The immediate reaction was bewilderment. Ghana is due to announce their official 26-man squad on June 1, a day before the friendly against Wales in Cardiff on June 2.
The 28-man list is not, strictly speaking, the final World Cup squad. Two players currently in camp will be cut. The GFA and technical team would say naming 28 provides flexibility. By announcing 28 names rather than 26, the GFA has guaranteed a second wave of controversy.
The Wales friendly on June 2 is probably Ghana's final preparatory match before the World Cup. On June 1, when two players are dropped, there will be new headlines.
Quick Summary
Ghana's football association (GFA) has announced a provisional squad for the upcoming World Cup preparation camp- raising eyebrows. The selection process has stirred controversy and fueled suspicions of external influence - but what is really going on?
