The Black Stars of Ghana are set to play against defending FIFA World Cup champions Argentina in an international friendly game in March later this year.
This is according to sports journalist Juan Arango and former Ecuadorian footballer, Hernan S Castillo.
The Black Stars have fared quite poorly in recent friendly games with Ghana losing to USA and Mexico while drawing goalless with Namibia and beating lowly ranked Liberia 3-1.
The reported tie against the Black Stars is one of two friendly games lined up for the 2022 FIFA World Cup winners with another friendly game set against China with Lionel Messi expected to feature against the West African country.
Looks like @argentina is getting things set to play China and Ghana in March. Details are still pending and these are the two currently in the pole position to face the champs.
