No Friendly For Ghana…Before World Cup Qualifiers In June

Ghana have ruled out playing any friendly match before next month's World Cup qualifiers against Sudan and Lesotho.

The Black Stars will be preparing for two crucial World Cup qualifiers which could determine whether they will reach the final phase of the qualifiers.

They had previously arranged a friendly against Kenya but pulled out of the game citing the late arrival of players from their European bases for their decision.

With many players likely to end their season just two days before the Kenya friendly, Ghana has decided stick to training before the World Cup qualifiers.

Sudan's decision to bring the match forward by two days to 7th June is another reason for the decision to call off the game as players stand the risk of getting injured.

'We will not play any friendly match before we play our World Cup qualifiers in June,' Ghana FA's Director of Communications Ibrahim Sannie told Happy FM.

Ghana will play Sudan in Khartoum before travelling to Maseru to play Lesotho.

Victories in both matches will strongly enhance Ghana's chances of reaching the final phase of the 2014 World Cup.
