Black Stars set for Asian tour with friendlies against Japan and South Korea

Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars, will embark on an exciting Asian tour in November as the team nears securing a spot for next year’s World Cup in the North America.

The four-time African champions are scheduled to play international friendlies against Japan and South Korea in what promises to be a thrilling double-header featuring two of Asia’s football giants.

Otto Addo’s men will first lock horns with Japan on November 14 in Toyota during the prestigious Kirin Cup, before travelling to Seoul to face South Korea on November 17.

Both opponents have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup and are expected to parade full-strength squads, offering Ghana a valuable test ahead of next year’s continental and global competitions.

The Asian tour forms part of the Ghana Football Association’s strategy to keep the team active and competitive, while providing Addo with an opportunity to assess new players and fine-tune his tactics.

The Black Stars are currently top of Group I in the World Cup qualifiers with 22 points after their emphatic 5-0 victory over the Central African Republic in Morocco.

Their focus now shifts to the decisive clash against Comoros this Sunday, where qualification could be officially sealed before their Asian adventure begins.
