Head coach Otto Addo confirmed the schedule on Thursday afternoon, outlining that players will join the camp in phases, with the full squad expected to be assembled by September 2. 

Addo also revealed that the first training session will be open to the public in Accra, with subsequent sessions held in Kumasi on Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of the match on September 5.
