The Black Stars held their final training session in Accra on Tuesday before travelling to Takoradi for a crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia.
Head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren and his technical team oversaw an intense workout at the Accra Sports Stadium, with the squad completing its last session in the capital before continuing preparations in Ghanas Western Region.
Twenty-four players took part in the training, which focused on tactical drills, team shape and match-specific exercises. The coaching staff used the session to refine the teams approach ahead of a decisive week in the qualifying campaign.
Alidu Seidu and Marvin Senaya were the only players absent as preparations began. Their absence leaves the technical team with a near-full squad available for selection, with competition for places in the starting line-up expected to be strong across the team.
The Black Stars are yet to win in their opening two qualifying matches, having lost to Cote d’Ivoire and The Gambia. They now need to collect valuable points from their two meetings with Somalia to retain their hopes of qualifying for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Defeats in the first two games have left Ghana with little room for further mistakes. With both matches against the same opponent being played within four days, the outcome could significantly affect the group standings.
Six points from the double-header would change the complexion of the group and put Ghana back in control of their own destiny.
Ghana will face Somalia in the first match on Thursday, November 12, before the two sides meet again on Monday, November 16, 2026.
