The Black Stars are scheduled to open camp in Accra on Sunday, holding several training sessions at the Accra Sports Stadium before travelling to Angola for their Matchday Five encounter on 15 November at Estádio 11 de Novembro.

<h2>Otto Addo’s Goal: Securing AFCON Qualification</h2>

Head coach Otto Addo faces a must-win situation in the remaining matches as he seeks to qualify Ghana for the 2025 AFCON.
