Otto Addo’s 24-man squad will open camp on Monday, September 1, 2025, and are expected to train at the Accra Sports Stadium before departing for N’djamena Tuesday evening ahead of the Chad encounter on Thursday, September 4, 2025.
The Black Stars would then face Mali on Monday, September 8, 2025, which could bolster their chances of securing an automatic spot at next year’s FIFA World Cup.
The 24-man squad, which includes Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus, Thomas Partey, Antoine Semenyo and Inaki Williams, among others, are expected to start arriving after this weekend’s round of fixtures for their respective clubs.

The Black Stars have been boosted with the return of Tariq Lamptey, while Caleb Yirenkyi, who had a stellar outing in the Unity Cup, has been included in the squad.
