The Black Stars of Ghana are set to conduct an official training session at Estádio 11 de Novembro in Luanda on Thursday, November 14, 2024, at 8:00 pm local time. This session marks their final preparation for a crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Angola, a match that could make or break their tournament hopes.

Ghana’s national team touched down in Luanda on Wednesday night after a series of focused training sessions in Accra. With just two points from their four qualifying matches, the Black Stars currently sit third in Group F, trailing both Angola and Sudan. Angola leads the group with a flawless 12-point record, placing Ghana 10 points behind and facing an uphill battle for qualification.

Friday evening’s clash with Angola is a must-win for the Black Stars. The team is not only aiming to secure a critical three points in Luanda, but they also have their sights on an upcoming second leg against Niger, which will further determine their qualification outcome. To reach the AFCON tournament in Morocco, Ghana must achieve strong results in these remaining games and hope for favorable outcomes in Sudan’s fixtures.

Led by Coach Otto Addo, the Black Stars are expected to approach this penultimate qualifier with determination and focus, as they seek to keep their AFCON dreams alive.
