But they opted out of the friendly citing the unavailability of some players.
Coach Kwesi Appiah has now announced that his team will camp in Addis Ababa and Johannesburg ahead of the matches against Sudan and Lesotho respectively.
High altitude training in Addis Ababa will put the Black Stars in shape for the game against Sudan and Lesotho where the altitude is also high.
Camping in Johannesburg will also keep the Black Stars in shape for the high altitude in Maseru ahead of the match against Lesotho.
The Black Stars will train in Ghana from their various homes for three days before departing to Ethiopia where they will be camped before the match against Sudan on 7 June.
The Black Stars must win their matches against Sudan and Lesotho to have a strong chance of topping the group to reach the final phase of the World Cup qualifiers.
Ghana are currently second in Group B with six points – one point adrift of Zambia who top the table thanks to a protest they won over Sudan.
