Ghana’s Black Stars are gearing up for a crucial pre-AFCON friendly against Namibia on January 8, 2024, in Kumasi.
Originally slated to face Botswana in Johannesburg, a change in plans has anchored the four-time African champions in their home country for rigorous preparations.
Opting for a strategic move, Namibia has set up camp in Accra, aligning with the weather conditions akin to the tournament’s host nation, Ivory Coast.
This similarity provides an ideal backdrop for Ghana to engage in a preparatory match against Namibia.
Head coach Chris Hughton is poised to unveil the final squad for the competition on Monday, marking the commencement of a ten-day intensive training camp in Kumasi.
The anticipation is palpable as Ghana, eyeing their first AFCON title in forty years, navigates a challenging group that includes football powerhouses Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
As the football fervour builds, the Black Stars aim to showcase their strength and prowess, hoping to secure a triumphant return to glory in the prestigious African football tournament.
