Black Stars Coach, Otto Addo’s Likely 35-man Provisional Squad for 2022 World Cup Drops – New Names Pop Up

Otto Addo, the coach of the Black Stars, is said to be announcing his provisional World Cup team on Friday, October 21, 2022.

Reports say that the manager gave the list to the Ghana Football Association last Friday. The list is expected to be made public this week.

More information says that the trainer, who is based in Germany, has put the names of 35 players on his provisional list. It will be cut down to 26 about a week before the competition starts in Qatar.

This would mean that any player who isn’t on the provisional list wouldn’t be able to go to the World Cup.

As part of the FIFA rules for the World Cup, each of the 32 teams competing in this year’s Mundial must submit a provisional list of between 35 and 50 players.
