The match will be played behind closed doors at the Stadion Miejskiego Klubu Sportowego Gornik Walbrzych, with kick-off scheduled for 12:00 GMT.
It will give Black Princesses head coach Charles Sampson another opportunity to evaluate his squad before the tournament, while also allowing the team to strengthen its understanding on the pitch and refine its tactical approach.
Ghana began their friendly programme with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Sleza Wroclaw in Wroclaw, Poland. The result provided a positive start to their preparations and offered the squad valuable competitive minutes ahead of their second test.
The meeting with Mexico is expected to provide a different challenge for Ghana’s players as they continue working towards the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. With the fixture being held in private, the focus will remain on the team’s preparation and Sampson’s assessment of the players available to him.
For the head coach, the match represents another chance to examine the balance of the squad, develop cohesion between the players and ensure that the team’s tactical plans are becoming increasingly settled before the tournament begins.
The Black Princesses are set to make their eighth consecutive appearance at the biennial competition. Despite their consistent qualification, Ghana have yet to progress beyond the group stage in the tournament’s history.
Their ambition this time is to reach the knockout phase for the first time. The friendly against Mexico therefore forms part of the wider work required to prepare the squad for that challenge, following the opening win against Sleza Wroclaw.
The game at Stadion Miejskiego Klubu Sportowego Gornik Walbrzych will be played at 12:00 GMT, although supporters will not be permitted to attend because the fixture is being staged behind closed doors.
Ghana’s preparations will continue with Sampson using the match to gather further information about his players and assess how the squad responds to another international opponent. The Black Princesses will then carry the lessons from the fixture into the remaining stages of their build-up to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
The team’s aim is clear: to turn their experience of eight successive appearances into a first-ever journey beyond the group stage.
