"We have selected players who are ready to fight for the country. This is our final battle squad for Mexico. We call on all Liberians and the government to support the team," Benson said.

The team is expected to travel to Ghana in the coming days to process visas before heading to Mexico.

As part of its preparations, the squad recently completed X-ray examinations, with training, physical conditioning and recovery also forming part of its buildup to the tournament.

Liberia has been drawn into Group A alongside host nation Mexico, Italy and Algeria.

The 2026 Amputee World Cup is scheduled for Nov. 13-22 in San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico, with 24 national teams, including seven from Africa, expected to compete for the title.

Liberia secured qualification after finishing among the top six teams at the African Amputee Football Cup, strengthening its return to the global stage.
