Mauritania have landed in Ghana ahead of their friendly with the Black Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday.

The Northwest Africans arrived at the Kotoka International Airport on Sunday morning ahead of the game.

The Black Stars will take on the Lions of Chinguetti in an international friendly on March 26 in Accra as part of preparations for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in Egypt in June.

The four-time Africa Cup of Nations winners will play as host to the Lions of Chinguetti three days after beating Kenya 1-0 in the final qualifier at the same venue.

Both Ghana and Mauritania have already qualified for the Nations Cup to be played later this year.

Mauritania suffered a lone goal defeat in the hands of Burkina Faso in their final 2019 Nations Cup qualifier on 22 March ahead of their debut appearance at the tournament.
