The Black Stars have been drawn into a demanding Group L where they will begin their tournament against Panama on June 17 before facing heavyweight clashes against England and Croatia in their remaining group fixtures.
As part of the build-up to the tournament in North America, Ghana will also test themselves in high-profile international friendlies against Mexico and Wales, matches expected to offer Queiroz a clearer picture of his squad’s readiness ahead of the World Cup.
