VIDEO: Black Stars wraps up preparations for Angola clash

The Black Stars are all set for today’s crucial Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifier against Angola, having wrapped up their final preparations ahead of the match.

In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the technical team and players were seen actively engaging one another as anticipation builds for the encounter.

The game, scheduled for Thursday, September 5, 2024, will take place at the iconic Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi. This marks the Black Stars’ kick-off for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, as they aim to secure their place in the prestigious tournament set to be held in Morocco next year.

Ghana, widely regarded as a footballing powerhouse on the African continent, will be eager to make a strong statement to their passionate fanbase. The team will enjoy the home advantage, with the Baba Yara Stadium renowned for its electric atmosphere and fervent support for the Black Stars.

The squad, led by key players such as Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, and rising stars like Mohammed Kudus and Antoine Semenyo, are expected to deliver a convincing performance. In the last international window, Ayew bagged a memorable hat-trick during Ghana’s 4-3 victory over the Central African Republic in Kumasi in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June 2024.

Meanwhile, Angola’s Palancas Negras will be looking to cause an upset against their more favoured opponents. The Angolan side has shown promise in previous games and will be hoping to capitalize on any opportunities that present themselves during the match.

Their last visit to Kumasi ended in heartbreak, with a last-minute goal sealing a 1-0 win for Ghana in stoppage time. Both teams will be vying for victory in this crucial match, which could play a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics of Group F in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

Fans are eagerly anticipating a thrilling encounter as the Black Stars seek to assert their dominance, while Angola aims to defy the odds.
