Black Challenge names 15-man squad for 2026 Amputee Football World Cup in Mexico

Ghana’s Black Challenge head coach, Stephen Richard Obeng, has unveiled his final 15-man squad for the 2026 WAFF Men’s Amputee Football World Cup, with the team scheduled to depart for Mexico on Tuesday, November 10.

The squad features three goalkeepers and 12 outfield players who will carry Ghana’s hopes at the tournament, which runs from November 13 to 22 in San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico.

The Black Challenge will compete with financial support from Gold Fields, while the Football Association has reiterated its commitment to the team’s campaign in partnership with the National Amputee Football Association of Ghana and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.

A total of 24 national teams from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas will compete for the title. Ghana have been drawn in Group D, where they will face Angola, Colombia and Iraq.

Angola are expected to provide a stern test for the Black Challenge, having established themselves among the leading teams in the competition. They lifted the World Cup trophy in Mexico in 2018 before finishing as runners-up in the 2022 tournament.

Ghana, however, head into the competition with an impressive record on the African continent and will be hoping to translate that success onto the global stage.

The Black Challenge won the African Amputee Football Championship in 2021 before adding another major achievement with gold at the inaugural African Para Games in Accra in 2023. They subsequently defended their continental title in Cairo in 2024.

Their latest continental triumph came after a closely fought 2-1 victory over Morocco in the final, which also secured Ghana’s qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
