Black Stars arrive in Takoradi for crucial Somalia AFCON qualifying double-header

Ghana have arrived in Takoradi ahead of their two-match 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying contest against Somalia.

The Black Stars travelled to the Western Region late on Tuesday after completing their final training session in Accra at the Accra Sports Stadium earlier that day.

Head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren has taken 24 players to Takoradi for what is a decisive week in Ghanas qualifying campaign. The squad will continue preparations in the city before facing Somalia twice within four days.

Alidu Seidu and Marvin Senaya were the only players absent when the team began its work in Accra, and both remain unavailable for the travelling party.

Ghana will hold their next training session at the Essipong Stadium on Wednesday. Bjorkegren and his technical staff will use the session to continue refining the tactical approach for the two fixtures.

The first meeting with Somalia is scheduled for Thursday, November 12, with the return match taking place on Monday, November 16, 2026.
