Black Galaxies Gear Up for CHAN Qualifiers with Togo Friendlies
The Black Galaxies of Ghana have traveled to Togo to continue their preparations for the 2024 CHAN qualifiers against Nigeria. The team, consisting of 25 players and their technical staff, left Ghana on Tuesday morning. In Togo, they will participate in a series of friendly matches to refine their tactics and boost team cohesion. These games are crucial as Ghana aims to build momentum and fine-tune its strategy under the leadership of head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani. The team has already showcased impressive form with victories over Nania FC and Northern City in recent warm-up games at the GFA Technical Centre.
The qualifiers, which will determine who secures a spot in the upcoming CHAN tournament, promise to be intense. Ghana will host the first leg of the two-match encounter in Accra between December 20 and 23, 2024. Shortly afterward, the Black Galaxies will travel to Abuja for the return leg. This rivalry holds historical significance, as Ghana eliminated Nigeria in the last CHAN qualifiers after a dramatic penalty shootout, ensuring their place in the previous tournament. While Ghana aims to replicate that success, Nigeria is highly motivated to break their two-edition absence from the competition and reclaim a spot on the continental stage.
The stakes are high, as the winner of the tie will secure a place in the CHAN 2024 tournament, set to be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. For Ghana, a victory would reaffirm their dominance in West African football, while for Nigeria, it’s a chance at redemption and a fresh start. Both teams are expected to bring their best performances to the pitch, with fans eagerly anticipating a fiercely contested encounter. The friendly matches in Togo are part of Ghana’s broader strategy to ensure their players are in peak condition for this decisive showdown, keeping their sights firmly on CHAN qualifications.
