Black Stars’ newly appointed captain, Jordan Ayew, has arrived in Ghana to join the national team as they prepare for their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The Leicester City forward touched down late on Monday, March 17, 2025, and is expected to link up with the squad at their Accra hotel.
Ayew, who has been named the main captain under the team’s new leadership structure, is set to lead Ghana in their crucial doubleheader against Chad. The striker has been in impressive form during the qualifiers, currently standing as Ghana’s top scorer with four goals. He is just one goal behind Egypt’s Trezeguet and Mohamed Salah, who are tied at the top of the scoring chart with five goals each.
The arrival of Ayew, along with other key players such as Inaki Williams, Jerry Afriyie, and Lawrence Agyekum, boosts the squad’s preparations. With their inclusion, the number of available players has risen to 13, though 10 players are yet to report to camp.
The Black Stars are scheduled to hold their second training session on Tuesday, March 18, 2025. Unlike the first session, which was open to the public, Tuesday’s training will be held behind closed doors as the team fine-tunes their strategies for the upcoming matches.
Ghana’s first qualifier against Chad is set to take place later this week, and fans are hopeful that the team, under Ayew’s leadership, will secure vital points to strengthen their position in the race for the 2026 World Cup. Ayew’s experience, leadership, and goal-scoring prowess will be crucial as the Black Stars aim to continue their strong performance in the qualifiers.
The nation eagerly awaits the team’s performance, with expectations high for a successful campaign under their new captain.
