Chairman of the Black Stars Management Committee, Dr. Randy Abbey, has announced that the team will participate in a four-nation tournament in June 2025.

He explained that these friendly matches will help the technical team maintain the squad's fitness and assess other players.

In an interview with 3Sports, Dr. Abbey revealed that the tournament will be held in England before the 2026 World Cup qualifiers resume in September 2025.

"Fortunately, the technical team and management will have the opportunity to further work on the team because, in June, we don't have qualifiers. So, we're playing a four-nation friendly in England. And I'm sure it will be an opportunity for the coaches to do some further work on the team.

"We're hoping that some of the players who are injured will also be back and will be able to get an opportunity to play at least two games before September," he said.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) lauded the team for their victories against Chad and Madagascar.

"I can also appreciate why people were a bit apprehensive about the game. This is a team that had gone six games without a win in the AFCON qualifiers. After Chad, they said, 'Oh, well, this is just Chad.'

"If you look at Madagascar's previous performance, having gone away to win 4-1 against one of the teams that was also doing quite well in the group, it was a difficult game. But the entire team was determined to make up for not qualifying for the AFCON," he added.

After playing six matches in the World Cup qualifiers, Ghana sits at the top of Group I with 15 points. Madagascar follows in second place with 10 points, while Mali is in third with 9 points.
