Ghana arrived at the World Cup following a turbulent period, which included the dismissal of manager Otto Addo just 72 days before the event. Veteran coach Carlos Queiroz, a veteran of five World Cups, stepped in to lead the team and recently secured a dramatic win over Panama.
Antoine Semenyo, a 26-year-old winger for Manchester City, is arguably the team’s biggest threat. Despite a stellar club campaign—where he scored 17 goals and helped capture two trophies—he has struggled to replicate that form on the international stage, netting just three times in 35 appearances.
Midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi, 20, is currently gaining significant attention in Europe. After being deployed out of position by the previous manager, he has flourished under Queiroz. The former teen robotics champion is a standout in ball recovery and passing accuracy in the Danish top flight.
Jordan Ayew, 34, recently became Ghana’s most capped player. While he has been prolific during international qualifiers, he is still hunting for his first career goal at a World Cup tournament.
Forward Brandon Thomas-Asante, 27, earned his spot after a strong season at Coventry City. The versatile player proved his worth immediately by providing the assist for the winning goal against Panama.
Finally, Kamaldeen Sulemana remains one of the world’s fastest players. The 24-year-old Atalanta winger is renowned for his blistering pace and dribbling, though he is still searching for consistent efficiency in the final third.
