Black Stars Hold Final Accra Training Ahead Of Somalia Double-Header

Wed 11th Nov, 2026 12:43

The Black Stars held their final training session in Accra on Tuesday afternoon before travelling to Sekondi for their crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Somalia.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) says all 26 invited players are expected at the Accra Sports Stadium session, where acting head coach Kim Lars Björkegren and his technical team will finalise preparations.

Camp opened on Sunday, November 8, with players reporting in batches, and the squad has since worked on fitness and tactical organisation.

Ghana host Somalia in the first leg on Thursday, November 12, at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi-Takoradi, before the return fixture at the same venue on Monday, November 16. Both games kick off at 15:00 GMT.

The Black Stars go into the matches under pressure after defeats in their opening two qualifiers.

The four-time African champions lost 2-0 to Côte d’Ivoire in Bouaké and 4-2 at home to The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium. Those results leave them bottom of Group C without a point, making the Somalia games vital to their hopes of reaching the 2027 tournament.

The team is expected to leave Accra for Sekondi immediately after Tuesday’s training to continue preparations at the match venue.
