Brandon Thomas-Asante handed Ghana's iconic No. 10 shirt for 2026 FIFA World Cup

The Black Stars have officially confirmed their squad numbers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Coventry City striker Brandon Thomas-Asante inheriting Ghana's iconic number 10 jersey.

The shirt was most recently worn by Jordan Ayew's brother, Andre Ayew, during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and has historically been associated with some of Ghana's greatest footballers.

Another notable change sees Saint-Étienne midfielder Augustine Boakye take over the number 20 shirt, which was worn by Mohammed Kudus at the 2022 tournament. Kudus misses this year's World Cup after being ruled out through injury, opening the door for Boakye to inherit the jersey.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo retains his familiar number 11 shirt following an impressive season at club level.

Defender Abdul Mumin returns to the international stage wearing the number 6 jersey after recovering from a long-term ACL injury, while teenage midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi has been handed the number 3 shirt. Late call-up Derrick Luckassen will wear number 23.
