Ghanas Black Challenge will leave for Mexico on Tuesday, November 10 after head coach Stephen Richard Obeng confirmed his final 15-man squad for the 2026 WAFF Mens Amputee Football World Cup.
The squad includes three goalkeepers and 12 outfield players for the tournament, which will be held in San Juan de los Lagos from November 13 to 22.
Ghanas campaign is being supported financially by Gold Fields. The Football Association has also restated its commitment to the team, working with the National Amputee Football Association of Ghana and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.
A total of 24 national teams from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas will compete at this years World Cup.
Ghana have been placed in Group D with Angola, Colombia and Iraq. Angola are expected to provide one of the toughest tests in the group after establishing themselves as a major force in the competition.
They won the World Cup in 2018, when the tournament was also staged in Mexico, before finishing runners-up in 2022.
The Black Challenge will arrive in Mexico with a strong record in African competition and hopes of making a significant impression at the global tournament.
Ghana won the African Amputee Football Championship in 2021 and followed that success by taking gold at the inaugural African Para Games in Accra in 2023.
They retained their continental title in Cairo in 2024, beating Morocco 21 in a closely contested final. That victory also confirmed Ghanas qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
