The Black Stars of Ghana will reportedly face their West African rivals, Nigeria, in a four-nation tournament in June 2025.
According to reports, the mini-tournament will be hosted by England, with Ghana, Nigeria, and Jamaica participating as invited teams.
At the moment, the specific dates for the tournament have not been announced.
The Chairman of the Black Stars Management Committee, Dr. Randy Abbey, noted that the tournament presents an opportunity for the technical team to keep the squad in good shape ahead of the next round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, scheduled for September.
“Fortunately, the technical team and management will have the opportunity to further work on the team because, in June, we don’t have qualifiers. So, we’re playing a four-nation friendly in England. And I’m sure it will be an opportunity for the coaches to do some further work on the team,” he told 3Sports.
“We’re hoping that some of the players who are injured will also be back and will have the opportunity to play at least two games before September,” he added.
After six matches in the World Cup qualifiers, Ghana lead Group I with 15 points, followed by Comoros with 12 points, while Mali sit third with 9 points.
