Abdul Rahman Baba Linked With Black Stars Return

Ghana defender Abdul Rahman Baba could be on the verge of a dramatic return to the Ghana national football team following reported contact from newly appointed head coach Carlos Queiroz ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Sources close to the situation indicate that Queiroz has reached out to the experienced left-back as part of an early assessment of players who could strengthen Ghana’s squad for the upcoming World Cup campaign. The move signals a potential shift toward reintegrating seasoned internationals alongside emerging talents.

Baba, who has previously been a regular fixture in the Black Stars setup, has been absent from the national team in recent years due to a combination of injuries and selection decisions. However, his experience at both club and international level is believed to be highly valued by Queiroz, who is known for building tactically disciplined teams with a blend of youth and experience.

The Portuguese tactician, recently tasked with steering Ghana back to global prominence, is expected to conduct a wide-ranging review of player options as he begins shaping his squad. Baba’s possible recall could address a long-standing need for stability in the left-back position, an area that has seen inconsistency in recent matches.

While no official squad announcement has been made, the reported contact has already sparked conversation among fans and analysts, many of whom see Baba’s return as a potentially stabilizing addition to the team’s defensive structure.

As preparations gradually intensify for the 2026 tournament, all eyes will be on Queiroz’s selections—and whether Abdul Rahman Baba will once again don the national colors in what could be one of the more notable comebacks in recent Black Stars history.
