COVENTRY City forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has earned a place in the Ghana squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer.
Thomas-Asante scored 12 goals in 31 appearances for the Sky Blues last season as Coventry won promotion to the Premier League.
And the forward has now received a call-up to the Ghana squad for the World Cup as he looks to add to his total of one goal in seven caps on the international stage.
The 27-year-old received his first call-up to the Ghana squad in 2023 and made his international debut in June 2024 against Central African Republic.
His only goal for Ghana came in a Unity Cup defeat against Nigeria in May 2025.
Thomas-Asante features in a 26-player squad named by Black Stars boss Carlos Queiroz who only took on the manager’s job in April earlier this year.
The 73-year-old Portuguese coach previously spent four years as Sir Alex Ferguson’s assistant manager at Manchester United from 2004 to 2008.
He also managed Real Madrid, either side of two spells as assistant manager at Old Trafford, and has coached several national teams.
Queiroz twice took charge of his native Portugal and has also managed Iran, Colombia, Egypt, Qatar and Oman.
This summer’s World Cup will take place in the United States of America, Mexico and Canada.
Ghana will play Panama, England and Croatia in the group stages of the World Cup.
Antoine Semenyo, who scored the winner in this season’s FA Cup final for Manchester City, and Athletic Club’s Inaki Williams also feature in the squad.
