This information was confirmed by the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku. The Black Stars will play four friendly matches as part of their build-up to the 2026 World Cup.

Two opponents have already been announced: Austria and Germany. Both fixtures are scheduled for the FIFA international window in March.

The first match will be against Austria on March 27, followed by a clash with Germany three days later, on March 30. The identities of the other two opponents have not yet been revealed.
