Jonathan Sowah, the former Medeama striker currently playing for Al Nasr Benghazi in Libya, has not been included in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic, despite earlier reports suggesting his call-up.

Coach Otto Addo announced the squad on Wednesday, with Sowah’s name notably missing. Despite his impressive form in Libya, where he has scored five goals in six appearances in the Libyan Premier League, Sowah will not feature in the upcoming qualifiers.

Sowah’s performances in the Ghana Premier League last season earned him a place in Ghana’s final squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. He made his competitive debut for the Black Stars during the World Cup 2026 qualifiers against Comoros, a match that Ghana lost 1-0.

Ghana will face Mali in Bamako on June 6 before returning to Kumasi to play against the Central African Republic on June 10.
