Cagliari midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana and West Bromwich Albion forward Brandon Thomas-Asante have earned debut Ghana callups ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mali and Central African Republic.

The duo have been named in Ghana's 26-man squad for the double-header scheduled for Bamako and Kumasi on June 6 and 10 respectively.

Sulemana has caught the attention of Coach Otto Addo after impressing in the Serie A this season where he made 21 appearances.

Thomas Brandon-Asante has also scored 11 goals in 41 appearances for the second tier English side.

Otto Addo's 26-man squad will report for duty on Thursday morning as they begin preparations for the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in USA, Mexico and Canada.

The Black Stars will train at the University of Ghana Stadium for six days before departing for Bamako on Tuesday, June 4, 2024.
