The battle for places in Ghana's World Cup squad is reaching its climax, with five goalkeepers competing for what is expected to be only three spots in Carlos Queiroz's final 26-man roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Benjamin Asare, Solomon Agbasi, Lawrence Ati Zigi, and Joseph Anang were all put through their paces in a rigorous training session on Tuesday as the Black Stars stepped up preparations for their final pre-World Cup friendly against Wales on June 2. Paul Reverson, the fifth goalkeeper in the provisional list, is expected to join the camp later.
With head coach Carlos Queiroz set to submit his final squad on June 1, only three of the five shot-stoppers are expected to make the cut. The Wales friendly will serve as the final audition, with every save, distribution, and decision under intense scrutiny.
The competition for the number one jersey has become a major talking point following a costly error from Benjamin Asare in Ghana's recent 2-0 defeat to Mexico. Ati Zigi, the most experienced of the group, was Ghana's first-choice in the 2022 World Cup, while Agbasi, Anang, and Reverson are all pushing for recognition.
With five goalkeepers chasing three spots, the tension is palpable. Every training session counts, and the shot-stoppers know that the margin between making the squad or watching from home is razor-thin.
