The Black Stars of Ghana will open camp on Sunday, May 25, in preparation for the highly anticipated Unity Cup tournament in London, according to Management Committee Chairman Dr. Randy Abbey.

The Ghanaian national team is set to face long-time rivals Nigeria in a thrilling semifinal on May 28 at the Gtech Community Stadium. The winner of that clash will meet either Trinidad and Tobago or Jamaica in the final scheduled for May 31 at the same venue.

In an interview with Sportsblog247.com, Dr. Abbey revealed the team’s itinerary, confirming that the squad will convene in London on Sunday, with three training sessions lined up ahead of their opener against Nigeria.

“There are quite a number of players who are injured,” Dr. Abbey said. “Some are also involved in promotion playoffs or qualifying matches in Europe, so their clubs won’t release them, especially as this falls outside the official FIFA window.”

Despite challenges with player availability due to injuries and ongoing league campaigns in Europe’s top five leagues, the Unity Cup serves as a crucial tune-up for Ghana’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Black Stars will face Chad and Mali in September and later complete their group fixtures against Comoros and the Central African Republic in October.
