The 15-man contingent travelled in two separate batches after splitting up in France during their journey from Ghana. Both groups arrived in Mexico on Wednesday and reunited ahead of the tournament.

Head coach Stephen Richard Obeng and his players will now concentrate on their final preparations for the competition, which runs from November 13 to 22 in San Juan de los Lagos.

The Black Challenge head into the tournament as back-to-back African champions, having won the continental title in 2021 and successfully defended it in 2024 with a 2-1 victory over Morocco in the final in Cairo. They also claimed gold at the 2023 African Para Games in Accra.

Ghana have been drawn in Group D alongside former world champions Angola, Colombia and Iraq.

The Black Challenge will open their campaign against Angola on November 14 before facing Colombia on November 15. Their final group-stage fixture will be against Iraq on November 16.

Angola pose a major threat, having won the World Cup in 2018 and finished runners-up in 2022.

Having established themselves as one of Africa’s strongest amputee football nations, Ghana will be hoping to translate their continental dominance into success on the global stage.

The tournament presents another opportunity for the Black Challenge to make history and bring pride to the country.
