The Ghana Black Stars have officially opened camp as preparations intensify for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Players began reporting to the team’s base on Sunday, October 5, with a steady flow of arrivals continuing into Monday, as the squad assembles for what many describe as one of the most important international windows for the team.
Early arrivals included Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo, who joined camp in Casablanca after featuring for his club in Spain. Goalkeepers Benjamin Asare and Christopher Baah Bonsu were also among the first to check in, with forwards Antoine Semenyo and Brandon Thomas-Asante following shortly after. The rest of the squad is expected to trickle in as players complete their club duties across Europe and Africa.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirmed that the camp officially opened on Sunday evening, with light recovery sessions scheduled for the early arrivals. Full training is expected to begin once the entire squad is complete.
The Black Stars are preparing for back-to-back fixtures in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, facing the Central African Republic before taking on Comoros in what is shaping up to be a decisive series of games. Ghana currently sits in a tight group where every point will prove crucial in the race to secure a place at the World Cup.
Head coach Otto Addo has emphasized the importance of team cohesion and fitness ahead of the fixtures, stressing that Ghana must capitalize on home advantage while also finding a way to secure results on the road.
The mood in camp is reportedly positive, with players eager to build on recent performances and reclaim the team’s dominance on the continent. Fans are expected to throng training sessions in the coming days as anticipation builds for the qualifiers.
