Ghana’s Black Challenge head coach, Stephen Richard Obeng, has named his final 15-man squad for the 2026 WAFF Men’s Amputee Football World Cup, with the team scheduled to depart for Mexico today, November 10.
The squad comprises three goalkeepers and 12 outfield players for the tournament, which will take place from November 13 to 22 in San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico.
Ghana have been drawn in Group D alongside Angola, Colombia and Iraq in the 24-nation competition. Angola pose a major threat, having won the 2018 World Cup and finished runners-up in 2022.
The Black Challenge will, however, travel with confidence after winning the African Amputee Football Championship in 2021 and 2024, as well as securing gold at the inaugural African Para Games in Accra in 2023.
Their preparations have also received financial support from Gold Fields, while the Ghana Football Association, the National Amputee Football Association of Ghana and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation are supporting the team’s campaign.
