The Ghana national football team have officially kicked off preparations for their upcoming international friendly after holding their first training session in Vienna with 21 players.
The team, which opened camp on Sunday, trained for about an hour at the Vienna Football Campus on Monday. The session focused on recovery exercises for players who featured for their clubs over the weekend, while others engaged in tactical drills and shooting practice.
Goalkeepers Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Benjamin Asare, and Joseph Anang were present, alongside defenders including Jerome Opoku and Gideon Mensah.
In midfield and attack, players such as Jordan Ayew, Antoine Semenyo, Kamal Deen Sulemana, and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku took part in the session.
Deputy captain Thomas Partey has also arrived in camp, increasing the squad size to 22, although he did not feature in the opening training.
Meanwhile, Alexander Djiku and Kojo Oppong Peprah are expected to join the rest of the squad later, as preparations intensify.
Ghana will face the Austria national football team on Friday at the Ernst Happel Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 17:00 GMT.
The friendly forms part of the team’s build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
