Ghana set for first-ever meeting with Wales in June friendly

Ghana will face Wales in an international friendly at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, in what will be the first senior meeting between the two sides.

The match will also mark the first time an African side has played a men’s international fixture in Wales. It forms part of Ghana’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the Black Stars have already secured qualification.

Coach Otto Addo is expected to rely on several key players, including Jordan Ayew, Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams and Mohammed Kudus as Ghana continue preparations for the tournament in North America.

Ghana have also scheduled other friendly matches against Austria, Germany and Mexico ahead of the competition in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

At the World Cup, Ghana have been drawn in a difficult group alongside England, Croatia and Panama.

The friendly against Wales will give Addo another opportunity to assess his squad and build momentum before the tournament begins.

Wales, coached by Craig Bellamy, are still chasing qualification for the World Cup through the European play-offs scheduled for March. Ticket information for the match will be announced later.
