The Black Stars held their final training session at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday, before departing for Takoradi for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations double-header against Somalia.

Head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren and his technical team put the players through their paces in the final workout in Accra before the team travelled to the Western Region to continue preparations.

Twenty-four players were involved in Tuesday's training session in Accra.

Alidu Seidu and Marvin Senaya were the only absentees as the team commenced preparations for the matches.

The Black Stars are without a win in their first two matches following defeats to Côte d'Ivoire and Gambia, and the team must pick up valuable points to stand a chance of making it to next year's AFCON.

The Black Stars will need to pick up three points if they will need to keep their qualification hopes alive.

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