The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially confirmed a change in plans for the Black Stars’ pre-2023 Africa Cup of Nations preparations.
Originally scheduled to open a training camp in South Africa on December 31, 2023, the national team will now commence their preparations in Kumasi starting from January 2, 2023.
This strategic decision, reached after a comprehensive review meeting involving the Management and Technical Team, aims to optimize the team’s preparation closer to home.
As a result, the International friendly against Botswana scheduled on Monday, January 8, 2023 in Johannesburg is called off and the FA is working on finding a new opponent for the team as part of the build up to the tournament in Abidjan.
The revised plan sets the stage for an intensive training camp as the Black Stars gear up for the continental football showcase in Cote D’Ivoire.
Ghana is paired in Group B alongside giants Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique.
The Black Stars will open their campaign against Cape Verde on Sunday, January 14, before taking on record holders Egypt on January 18 and play Mozambique on January 22 in the other Group B game.
