The Black Stars have arrived in Oujda, Morocco, ahead of their second Group F match in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Niger.
A total of 23 players made the trip, with Joseph Painstil missing out due to passport complications. The Los Angeles Galaxy forward stayed behind in Accra to resolve the issue before returning to the U.S. to rejoin his club.
Ghana is seeking to bounce back after a disappointing start, having lost their opening qualifier to Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday. A strong performance against Niger is crucial.
The team is set to train today and on Sunday, in preparation for the match against Niger, which will take place at the Berkane Municipal Stadium on Monday, September 9, 2024.
The 23-man squad includes Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Joseph Wollacott, Frederick Asare, Alidu Seidu, Tariq Lamptey, Jerome Opoku, Mohammed Salisu, Abdul Mumin, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Thomas Partey, Antoine Semenyo, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Ebenezer Annan, Jonas Adjetey, Jordan Ayew, Elisha Owusu, and Ibrahim Osman.
Also in the lineup are Inaki Williams, Kingsley Schindler, Majeed Ashimeru, Abu Francis, Forson Amankwah, and Mohammed Kudus.
The match is scheduled for Monday, September 9, 2024, with a 16:00 GMT kick-off.
