Black Stars to play four-nation tournament in June

-

The Chairman of the Black Stars Management Committee, Dr. Randy Abbey, has confirmed that Ghana’s senior national team will participate in a four-nation international tournament in June 2025.

After a difficult 2024, the Black Stars began the new year on a strong note, securing back-to-back victories against Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. These crucial wins have propelled Ghana to the top of Group I with 15 points.

According to the FIFA calendar, the team’s next competitive matches are scheduled for September.

However, Dr. Abbey revealed that the Black Stars will engage in friendly matches in June as part of their ongoing preparations.

“Fortunately, the technical team and management will have the opportunity to further work on the team because, in June, we don’t have qualifiers, so we will be playing a four-nation friendly in England. And I am sure that it will be an opportunity for the coaches to do some further work on the team,” he told 3Sports.

He also expressed optimism that some injured players would recover in time for the tournament, allowing them to gain match fitness ahead of the September qualifiers.

“We are hoping that some of the players who are injured will also be back and will be able to get an opportunity to play at least two games before the September matches,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars are set to face Chad and Mali in their upcoming World Cup qualifying fixtures.
