Andre Ayew will lead the Black Stars as the skipper for the side against Madagascar and Comoros in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

The 33-year-old who has been clubless since leaving Nottingham Forest in July has been named in Black Stars' 25-man squad for the games slated for this month.

Andre was dropped from Black Stars squad for the October friendly games against Mexico and USA.

Following his inclusion in the squad for the game, the former Al Sadd striker is expected to lead the team as the skipper for the side.

It is unknown if he will start both games despite his clubless status.

The game between Ghana and Madagascar is scheduled to be played on November 17 at the Baba Yara Stadium before travelling to face Comoros on November 21 at Stade de Moroni.

Below is the full squad for the games:
