Midfielder Augustine Boakye has been handed the number 20 jersey for Ghana’s Black Stars ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The shirt was previously worn by influential midfielder Mohammed Kudus, who will miss the tournament due to injury. Kudus’ absence is a significant setback for Ghana, given his importance to the national team in recent years.
Boakye’s allocation of the jersey is seen as a sign of confidence from the Black Stars technical team as preparations intensify for football’s biggest tournament. The midfielder has impressed with his performances and is expected to play a key role in Ghana’s campaign.
The Black Stars are currently finalizing preparations for the World Cup, with players eager to make an impact on the global stage. Boakye will be hoping to seize the opportunity and justify the faith placed in him as he takes on one of the squad’s notable shirt numbers.
Ghana are targeting a strong showing at the tournament despite the absence of several key players through injury.
