Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz has named a strong starting lineup for Ghana’s international friendly against Wales as preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup enter their final stages.
In goal, Lawrence Ati-Zigi gets the nod, with the experienced shot-stopper handed the responsibility of starting between the posts.
The defence features Marvin Senaya at right-back and Gideon Mensah on the left side. At the heart of the backline, Jonas Adjetey partners Jerome Opoku in a central defensive pairing that will be keen to impress ahead of the World Cup.
In midfield, captain Jordan Ayew is deployed alongside Thomas Partey and Elisha Owusu. The trio combines experience, creativity and defensive discipline, giving Ghana a balanced presence in the middle of the park.
Further forward, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Fatawu Issahaku are expected to provide pace and attacking threat from the flanks, while Prince Adu Kwabena leads the line.
The match represents an important opportunity for players to stake a claim for a regular starting role before Ghana begin their World Cup campaign.
With Panama, England and Croatia awaiting in Group L, Queiroz will be hoping his side delivers a convincing performance against Wales as the Black Stars continue their build-up to football’s biggest tournament.
