As the Black Stars ramp up preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, head coach Carlos Queiroz has named a 23-man squad for the upcoming friendly against Mexico.
The squad mixes promising local talents with selected foreign-based players and notably excludes the core of the senior Black Stars team.
Medeama FC midfielder Salim Adams has been included in this 23-man squad for the Mexico friendly.
However, According to exclusive information obtained by Y Sports, the dynamic local midfielder will be part of the final squad heading to the 2026 World Cup. Our investigation within corridors of decision makers describes Adams’ eventual inclusion in the final 23 as very certain.
The in-form midfielder has been one of the standout performers in the Ghana Premier League this season, playing a central role in Medeama’s push for the title.
His influence was once again on display on Sunday, when he scored a brace to inspire the Yellow and Mauve side to extend their lead at the top of the table at TNA Park. Adams, who was named man of the match, maintained a composed stance when questioned about his chances of earning a national team call-up ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Queiroz is expected to name his final World Cup squad by June 1, with Ghana set to open their campaign on June 17 against Panama in Toronto before facing England and Croatia in the group stage.
Adams is expected to use the Mexico friendly to further stake his claim as Ghana prepares to make a strong statement at the World Cup. The game is expected to be played on May 22.
