The Black Stars have arrived in Takoradi as preparations intensify for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia, with Ghana desperate to revive their campaign after a disappointing start
The Ghanaian national team touched down in the Western Region late Tuesday after completing their final training session in Accra at the Accra Sports Stadium earlier in the day.
A total of 24 players travelled with head coach Kim Lars Björkegren as the team shifted camp to Takoradi ahead of the two crucial encounters.
Ghana head into the double-header bottom of their qualifying group with zero points after suffering defeats in their opening two matches during the last international break.
The Black Stars lost 1-0 away to Ivory Coast before suffering another setback at home against Gambia, leaving them with plenty of work to do if they are to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Alidu Seidu and Marvin Senaya were the only players absent when the squad began preparations in Accra, and both remain unavailable for the travelling party.
The Black Stars are scheduled to train at the Essipong Stadium on Wednesday as Björkegren and his technical team continue fine-tuning their tactical approach ahead of the fixtures.
Ghana will face Somalia in the first encounter on Thursday, November 12, before the two sides meet again on Monday, November 16, 2026.
With their qualification campaign already under pressure, the Black Stars will be targeting maximum points from the two matches to get their AFCON ambitions back on track.
