Henry Asante Twum, the spokesperson of the Ghana Football Association [GFA], has hinted that the Black Stars will play at least one friendly game before the start of the 2022 World Cup.
Ghana has been paired with Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea in Group H in the Mundial scheduled to kick off in November later this year.
Having participated in the 2022 Kirin Cup in Tokyo, Mr Twum says the country’s football governing body is making plans to play a game before the global showpiece kicks off.
“The FA is making plans for the Black Stars to play at least one friendly game before the start of the 2022 World Cup,” he said on Asempa FM on the Ultimate Sports Show.
“At least one because according to FIFA, we will have only 10 days to prepare for the World Cup so there is no time.
“We have had a feel of how the Asian and the South Americans play and so playing a European side will be helpful to the team.
