The senior national team, the Black Stars have officially opened camp for their upcoming friendly games.
The four-time African champions will clash with their rivals, Nigeria on Friday, March 22, followed by a match against Uganda's Cranes on Tuesday, March 26, both scheduled to take place at the Stade de Marrakech.
Otto Addo, who has been reappointed as the head coach of the team announced a 26-man squad for the games.
However, 13 players opened camp in Marrakech with the rest of the players expected to join camp before the games.
The players include Joseph Wollacott, Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Andre Ayew, Tariq Lamptey, and Antoine Semnyo.
Additionally, joining the squad are Kassim Nuhu (called up later), Abdul Samed Salis, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, Patrick Kpozo, Seidu Alidu, Ernest Nuamah, Jordan Ayew, and Denis Odoi.
These matches are integral to the Black Stars' readiness for the forthcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers, particularly their encounter with Mali in June of this year.
Following a disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast, where the team endured a second consecutive early elimination, hopes are high for a turnaround in fortunes.
Meanwhile, the squad will be without key players Thomas Partey, Inaki Williams, and Joseph Paintsil, who are unavailable for various reasons.
