Ghana penalty taker

Jordan Ayew is our current Ghana penalty taker call, with Mohammed Kudus next in line if the order changes.

Jordan Ayew is Ghana's clear current penalty taker. CAF reported him scoring twice from the spot against Mozambique at AFCON 2024, and he then converted Ghana's World Cup qualifying penalty against Chad in March 2025. Mohammed Kudus remains the most dangerous alternative in the attack, but the penalty trail itself is firmly with Ayew.

If you searched for Ghana penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the quickest answer we are willing to publish right now. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order makes the cut.

For World Cup 2026, Jordan Ayew is the current first-choice call for Ghana, with Mohammed Kudus the closest backup if the tournament order shifts.

A fresh in-match penalty can move this page quickly, especially if it contradicts the current lead or happens with the full-strength tournament pool on the pitch.

For the more conditional boards, one more clean senior penalty is often enough to sharpen the backup line or flip the order outright.
