The Ghana Football Association has revealed a change in plans for the Black Stars‘ pre-2023 Africa Cup of Nations camp, following a review meeting with the Management & Technical Team.
Originally set for South Africa starting December 31, 2023, the ten-day training camp will now take place in Kumasi from January 2, 2023.
The scheduled international friendly against Botswana in Johannesburg on January 8, 2023, is canceled, with efforts underway to secure a new opponent for the team in preparation for the tournament in Abidjan.
Acknowledging the Black Stars Technical Team’s request for a tranquil camp atmosphere, the Association ensures the camp’s strict inaccessibility to the public and the media.
Training sessions will be held behind closed doors, with an exception for a designated media session. The friendly match will be open to the public, followed by a post-match press conference.
The Association appeals for public understanding and support to achieve the objectives of the Technical Team during the camp in Kumasi. Ghana, placed in Group B with Egypt, Cape Verde, and Mozambique, will commence their campaign against Cape Verde on January 14, followed by matches against Egypt on January 18 and Mozambique on January 22.
