The Black Stars have arrived in Takoradi for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations double-header against Somalia.

The team touched down in the Western Region late Tuesday after wrapping up their final training session in Accra on Tuesday at the Accra Sports Stadium, and will now continue preparations in Takoradi ahead of the two crucial qualifiers.

Twenty-four players made the trip, with head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren leading the squad into the decisive week of the campaign.

Alidu Seidu and Marvin Senaya were the only absentees as the team commenced preparations in Accra, and they remain the only players missing from the travelling party.

The team will train at the Essipong Stadium on Wednesday as Björkegren and his technical team continue to work on the tactical plan for the two games.

Ghana will play Somalia in the first of the two matches on Thursday, November 12, before battling the Somalis again in the second game on Monday, November 16, 2026.
