2022 World Cup Qualification: Black Stars To Start Training In Kumasi on Tuesday

Black Stars will start training in Kumasi on Tuesday, March 22, 2022, for the first leg of their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying playoff against Nigeria.

The team will arrive in the capital of the Ashanti Region on Tuesday and will commence training immediately.

Players are expected to start arriving this weekend after playing for their respective clubs. By Monday evening, Black Stars should have a full house.

Ghanaians have no idea which players have been invited by the Black Stars technical team headed by Otto Addo with the Ghana Football Association defending the shocking decision.

However, the invited players have assured Otto Addo of their availability and should be present when training officially commence on Tuesday.

They will train for three days with Otto Addo and his team including Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, George Boateng and technical advisor Chris Hughton.

Black Stars have certainly been boosted by the announcement of Baba Yara Stadium for the first leg after the Cape Coast Stadium was rejected by CAF owing to the badly damaged pitch.

The last time the stadium hosted a similar high-profile match was in 2013 during qualifiers for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Black Stars whitewashed Egypt 6-1 in the first leg of playoff and lost the second leg 2-1.
