Carlos Queiroz names 23-man Ghana squad for Mexico friendly

Carlos Queiroz has named a 23-man squad for Ghana’s upcoming international friendly against Mexico, as the national team continues preparations for future competitive fixtures.

The match is being used as an opportunity to strengthen cohesion within the squad and assess the team’s structure ahead of more important assignments.

The coaching staff view the fixture as a key test against high-level opposition, with Mexico expected to provide a strong examination of Ghana’s current progress.

Queiroz has included a blend of experienced players and emerging talent in his selection, with a focus on balancing continuity and development.

The approach is aimed at gradually integrating younger players into the senior setup while maintaining a competitive core group.

The friendly is also being used to evaluate tactical variations and combinations across different areas of the pitch.

With several players pushing for regular involvement, the coaching staff are expected to use the match to assess depth within the squad and identify potential options for future competitive selections.

The inclusion of younger Ghanaian players reflects a broader strategy of gradual transition, as the team management looks to build long-term stability while remaining competitive in the short term.

The fixture is seen as an important step in testing those plans against a strong international opponent.

Attention will now turn to how the squad responds during the training camp leading up to the match, with performance levels expected to influence future selection decisions.

The Black Stars will finalise their preparations before facing Mexico later this month in what is expected to be a competitive international friendly.
