World Cup 2022: Black Stars hold final training in Abu Dhabi ahead of Switzerland clash

Black Stars held their final training session ahead of their pre-World Cup friendly against Switzerland on Thursday in Abu Dhabi.

The West African powerhouse will engage the European country before the start of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Ghana who are returning to the global showpiece will be hoping to make impact despite being paired in what seems to be a ‘Group of Death’.

The team pitched camp in Abu Dhabi on Monday, where 23 players reported to camp to begin preparation for the friendly and the World Cup tournament.

But on Tuesday, 25 players participated in the teams training in the Asian following the arrival of Kamaldeen Sulemana and Alexander Djiku.

 

Otto Addo and his charges held their final training session on Thursday afternoon ahead of their clash with Switzerland.

Ghana will open their campaign against Portugal on November 24 at Stadium 974 in Doha.

Four days later, the Black Stars return to action with a clash with South Korea at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.

Ghana will wrap up their group stage adventure with their much-anticipated encounter with Uruguay at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah.

The Black Stars having missed out in the last edition hosted in Russia in 2018 will be hoping to improve their performance in Qatar after exiting the group phase during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Only three sides from the continent have ever progressed to the quarter-finals; Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002, and Ghana in 2010.

Ghana will be hoping to progress from the group stage at this year’s tournament.
