EXCLUSIVE: Semenyo, Inaki start as Ghana line up against Panama

Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz has named his starting lineup for the Black Stars opening 2026 FIFA World Cup Group L clash against Panama, with Antoine Semenyo and Inaki Williams included in a strong attacking setup.

The Black Stars will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Lawrence Ati-Zigi retaining his place between the posts.

In defence, Senaya, Adjetey, Opoku and Gideon Mensah are tasked with shielding the goalkeeper as Ghana seek a solid start against the Central Americans.

Yirenkyi and Owusu will operate in midfield, providing balance behind an attacking trio of Inaki Williams, captain Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.

Up front, Semenyo gets the nod to lead the line as Ghana chase a crucial opening victory in Toronto.

The Black Stars know three points against Panama could prove decisive in their bid to qualify from a difficult Group L that also features England and Croatia.
