The Black Stars of Ghana have received a significant boost in their preparations for the final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, as several key players, including Jordan Ayew, arrived to join the squad in camp. This new wave of arrivals has raised the number of players in camp to 22, as the team gears up to face Angola in a must-win match.
The training camp initially started on a lighter note, with only eight players taking part in the first session on Monday. However, by Tuesday, the team saw a surge in reinforcements, including the likes of Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Alidu Seidu, adding depth and experience to the squad. High-profile players like Mohammed Kudus and Gideon Mensah were already among those who took to the field on the first day, setting the tone for a spirited campaign.
Under the guidance of head coach Chris Hughton, the Black Stars held a second training session on Tuesday evening at the Accra Sports Stadium. They will depart for Luanda on Wednesday to face Angola in a decisive qualifier on Friday, November 15. This match will be followed by another clash, at home, against Niger on Monday, November 18.
The Black Stars find themselves in a precarious position, currently third in Group F with only two points from four games. Their qualification hopes hinge on winning both upcoming matches and hoping that Sudan, with seven points, fails to secure any further points in their remaining games.
