The Ghana Football Association has confirmed the rescheduling of the original date for the Black Stars' international friendly with Togo and also a change of venue.

Ghana were scheduled to meet the Hawks in Lens, France on 9 February but the game which has been shifted to Antwerp in Belgium would now be played 24 hours before, thus 8 February.

The game would be the Black Stars' first fixture of the New Year and also Goran Stevanovic's debut head coach of the team as they prepare for their next crucial 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo in March.

Ghana last played Togo in an international friendly on 16 August 2006 and it ended 2-0 in favour of the Black Stars.

Both sides were billed to meet at a competitive level at the last Nations Cup but a terrorist attack on the Togo team bus forced them to withdraw from the continental tournament.
