Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Okraku, has shared his excitement after securing friendly match with the United State of America.

On Tuesday, the Ghana FA announced that an agreement had been reached for the teams to face off on October 17.

And according to Okraku, the friendly against the USA will help the Black Stars to test their strength.

"We have always been looking for these kinds of opportunities to continue our team-building exercise, so playing against the United States of America has come in handy." He said.

This will be the fifth meeting since the 2006 World Cup with Ghana winning twice, the same as the US.

Ghana suffered a 2-1 defeat to the USA in their last meeting in 2017.

In the meantime, Ghana is currently gearing up for their second-to-last game in the qualifiers for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament. The match against Madagascar is scheduled to take place on June 18.
