Several notable players have been included in the squad, while others are returning after recovering from injuries. Interestingly, Medeama SC striker Jonathan Sowah has earned a spot in the squad.

Sowah, who previously played for Danbort FC, joined Medeama SC during the second transfer window and played a pivotal role in their league title victory by scoring 12 goals.

Both Elisha Owusu and Baba Iddrisu are making a return to the squad after recovering from injuries. Baba Iddrisu missed the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, while Elisha Owusu has been sidelined since picking up an injury in February, making his last appearance for Ghana during the FIFA World Cup finals in November the previous year.

South Africa-based goalkeeper Richard Ofori gets a call back in the squad after missing out on joining the squad on September 27, 2022, in a pre-World Cup friendly against Nicaragua in Lorca, Spain.
