On the first day of the Black Stars’ training camp in Kumasi, twenty-four players participated in a rigorous session as they geared up for the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote D’Ivoire 2023.
The nine-day camp, initiated on January 2, 2024, sets the stage for the national team’s AFCON campaign.
After a careful evaluation of the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex at Abrankese, head coach Chris Hughton and the technical team opted to relocate the first day’s training to the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex due to unfavorable pitch conditions at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Among the 24 players present were Joseph Wollacott, Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Alidu Seidu, Denis Odoi, Kingsley Schindler, Gideon Mensah, Abdul Fatawu Hamid, Nicholas Opoku, and Daniel Amartey.
The remaining squad comprised Salisu Mohammed, Alexander Djiku, Baba Iddrisu, Elisha Owusu, Abdul Samed Salis, Richmond Lamptey, Majeed Ashimeru, Andre Ayew, Ransford Yeboah Koningsdorffer, Osman Bukari, Joseph Painstil, Ernest Nuamah, Antoine Semenyo, and Jonathan Sowah.
In preparation for the tournament, Ghana is set to engage in an international friendly against Namibia on Monday, January 8, 2024. Photo coverage of the training camp has been provided by our team of photographers.
