World Cup 2026Q: Nice’s Kojo Oppong Peprah and Medeama’s Prince Owusu get maiden Black Stars callups

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has named his squad for the final phase of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

Two new faces were included in the gaffer’s 24-man squad for the two games against the Central African Republic and Comoros.

OGC Nice’s Kojo Oppong Peprah and Prince Owusu of Medeama Sporting Club are the new faces included in the squad for the upcoming games.

Pepprah, who joined the Ligue 1 side this summer, has been a key figure for them since the start of the season while also going on to score his debut goal for the club.

Owusu, who has enjoyed a great start to the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season, has also been given an invitation.

Ghana will face CAR on matchday nine of the qualifiers in Morocco on October 8 before returning to the Accra Sports Stadium to play Comoros in the final game.

The Black Stars sit three points clear in Group I ahead of the final two games, needing four points to secure a slot at the 2026 World Cup.
