The Black Stars are set to take on the Wales national football team in a crucial international friendly as part of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. With several key players available and a few injury concerns, head coach Carlos Queiroz is expected to field a strong lineup against the Welsh side.
Following recent performances and squad selections, goalkeeper Benjamin Asare is tipped to retain his place between the posts after impressing during recent international appearances.
Predicted Ghana XI (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper
- Benjamin Asare
Defenders
- Alidu Seidu
- Jerome Opoku
- Abdul Mumin
- Baba Abdul Rahman
Midfielders
- Thomas Partey
- Kwasi Sibo
- Abdul Fatawu Issahaku
- Jordan Ayew
- Inaki Williams
Striker
- Antoine Semenyo
The expected lineup blends experience and attacking firepower, with captain Jordan Ayew likely to play a key creative role behind Semenyo, while Inaki Williams and Fatawu provide pace and width on the flanks. Thomas Partey is expected to anchor the midfield alongside Kwasi Sibo.
Ghana will use the match as an important test ahead of their World Cup campaign, with the technical team keen to assess player fitness, tactical cohesion, and squad depth before the tournament begins later this month.
