Ghana is embarking on an Asian tour during this November international break, with two friendlies lined up: first against Japan on November 14 at 10:20 GMT, followed by a clash with South Korea on November 18 at 11:00 GMT.

A true giant of the African continent with an impressive record, Ghana stumbled during the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. A disastrous campaign sees them as the big absentee from the upcoming edition.

Nevertheless, Thomas Partey and his teammates made amends during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, punching their ticket to the finals by dominating Group I ahead of Madagascar, Mali, Comoros, Central African Republic, and Chad.

The Black Stars, boasting 8 wins in 10 matches, are set to take on Japan, who have also booked their spot for the 2026 World Cup, scheduled for next summer in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Japanese head coach Hajime Moriyasu can rely on his key assets Takumi Minamino and Takefusa Kubo for this showdown against Ghana.

Probable lineups for Japan vs Ghana:

Japan's likely XI: Suzuki, Watanabe, Taniguchi, J. Suzuki, Doan, Sano, Kamada, Nakamura, Kubo, Minamino, Ueda.

Ghana's likely XI: Asare, Adjetey, Djiku, Salisu, Seidu, Sibo, Partey, Annan, Kudus, Semenyo, Ayew.
