Coach Carlos Queiroz announced the provisional list on Monday, although two players will still need to be cut before FIFA's final deadline on 1 June.

Semenyo arrives as one of the standout figures in the squad after another impressive campaign in England, while Athletic Club forward Inaki Williams remains one of Ghana's biggest attacking references on the international stage.

There is also a strong Spanish football presence throughout the list. Alongside Williams, the squad includes Rayo Vallecano's Abdul Mumin, Thomas Partey, who spent the season at Villarreal, and Kwasi Sibo from Real Oviedo.

Further forward, experienced striker Jordan Ayew continues to play a major role within the national setup despite suffering relegation to League One with Leicester City. The veteran forward is now preparing for what would be his third World Cup appearance after previously featuring in 2014 and 2022.

Meanwhile, Brandon Thomas-Asante earns recognition after playing a key role in Coventry City's promotion push, scoring 13 goals across 34 matches.

Ghana will gather in Cardiff for a pre-tournament training camp before facing Wales in a friendly on 2 June.

The Black Stars have been drawn into Group L and will begin their World Cup campaign against Panama in Toronto on 17 June before taking on England and Croatia in Boston and Philadelphia, respectively.
