The senior national team, the Black Stars will camp in South Africa ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast next year.
Following the announcement by the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Ghanaian football fans have expressed their displeasure over the decision of the FA since the tournament will be held in a neighbouring country to Ghana.
They backed their argument that, the country is in financial crisis hence camping in the suggested countries will cut down costs and also be beneficiary to the players due to the weather conditions.
However, the list of the camping base for the 24 participating teams has been released ahead of the tournament.
According to the list, Cameroon will host their camping in Saudi Arabia, Gambia will pith theirs in two countries- Saudi Arabia and Morocco, Algeria will camp in Togo, Mali will camp in Mali, DR Congo will travel to Abu Dhabi (UAE), Burkina Faso will also travel to Abu Dhabi (UAE), Nigeria will travel to Dubai (UAE), Guinea Bissau will camp in Mali, Namibia camp in Ghana, Zambia travel to Saudi Arabia for camping.
Meanwhile, South Africa, Egypt, Senegal, Morocco and Tunisia will camp in their various countries.
