2027 AFCONQ: Black Stars to train in Accra before travelling to Sekondi for Somalia double-header

The Black Stars will hold their final training session in Accra on Tuesday before departing for Sekondi to prepare for their crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Somalia. Acting head coach Kim Lars Björkegren and his team are finalizing preparations for the two matches against the African nation.

Ghana arrived in Sekondi on Sunday, November 8, with players arriving in groups as the team began preparations for the Group C encounters. The squad has been focusing on fitness and tactical organization. The first leg of the double-header is scheduled for Thursday, November 12, at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi-Takoradi, with the second match occurring on Monday, November 16.

Both matches are set to begin at 15:00 GMT. Ghana is under pressure following two recent defeats, losing 2-0 to Côte d’Ivoire and 4-2 to The Gambia, leaving them bottom of Group C without any points. The outcome of these matches against Somalia will be crucial for Ghana's chances of qualifying for the 2027 tournament. After Tuesday's training session, the team is expected to depart for Sekondi immediately to continue preparations at the match venue.
