The Black Stars of Ghana will open camp today in Accra ahead of their 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Mali and Central African Republic slated for early next month.
Head coach Otto Addo finally starts work as the full-time Black Stars gaffer and named his squad for the upcoming international window last Wednesday at the GFA headquarters.
Most of the key players like Kudus Mohammed, Alexander Djiku, Antoine Semenyo, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Salisu and others were all invited but other top stars like Inaki Williams, Joseph Paintsil, Majeed Ashimeru, Daniel Amartey, etc, also missed due to injuries.
Captain Andre Ayew despite having a good season with French side Le Havre got dropped from the list whiles his deputy Thomas Partey finally returned to the team after almost seven months out.
The team will commence training today at the University of Ghana Stadium with majority of the players expected to arrive alongside debutants Brandon Thomas-Asante and Italian-based midfielder Ibrahim Sulemana.
They will spend six days in Ghana before they depart to Bamako on Tuesday, June 4, and will have only two days to prepare against the Eagles.
The Black Stars right after the game against Mali, will return to the country where they will head straight to Kumasi and are expected to have a three-day training sessions before they host the Wild Beasts of Central African Republic next.
Ghana had a jittery start to the World Cup qualifiers after two matches, having won against Madagascar in their opening game before succumbing to a painful loss to current Group I leaders Comoros in Moroni.
