The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, says he won't be surprised to see Andre Ayew included in Ghana's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The NAC Breda forward has not played for the Black Stars since the March 2024 friendly games against Nigeria and Uganda.

Since then, the 36-year-old has been left out of Ghana's squad on several occasions, including qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations, as well as qualifiers for the World Cup.

The former Le Havre attacker joined NAC Breda in January after being out of contract at the end of last season.

"Dede Ayew, too, is picking up, and as long as he has not retired, I won't be surprised if he makes it into the [2026 World Cup] squad," Adams said on Adom FM.

Ayew has started the last three games for NAC Breda in the Eredivisie as he chases a first goal since joining the Dutch club.
