The Black Stars of Ghana will play two high-profile preparatory games against Namibia and South Africa ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals, according to Footy-Ghana.com.

The Normalization Committee of the Ghana FA have reached the agreements for both games to be played during the team’s training camp in the United Arab Emirates.

Reports suggest that the game will be played on June 6 and 9.
