The Ghana Black Stars have been drawn in Group L alongside England, Croatia and Panama, and will be aiming to progress beyond the group stage for the first time since their memorable run at the 2010 World Cup.

Queiroz's final 26-man squad consists of three goalkeepers, nine defenders, six midfielders and eight forwards. The selection follows the team's pre-World Cup training camp in Cardiff, Wales.

Among the notable omissions are Ajax Amsterdam goalkeeper Paul Reverson and Accra Hearts of Oak shot-stopper Solomon Agbasi, both of whom were included in the provisional 28-man squad but failed to make the final cut.

The squad will be captained by Jordan Ayew and includes key figures such as Thomas Partey, Antoine Semenyo and Inaki Williams, all expected to play crucial roles in Ghana's World Cup ambitions.
