Austria have intensified preparations for their upcoming international friendly against Ghana, with Ralf Rangnick’s side currently training at the Marbella Football Center in Spain.
The European side will face Ghana on Friday, March 27 at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, before taking on South Korea a few days later as part of their build-up to the 2026 World Cup.
Austria’s camp has included several new faces, with Carney Chukwuemeka, Paul Wanner, David Affengruber and Florian Wiegele all receiving call-ups. The newcomers have quickly settled into the squad, with Chukwuemeka describing the environment as welcoming and supportive.
“It feels incredible to be here. The guys have been great to me. Everyone has been very kind and helpful,” he said.
Affengruber also spoke positively about the team atmosphere, describing it as a close-knit group determined to perform.
Austria will remain in Marbella until Thursday before travelling to Vienna for the match against Ghana, which will offer a key test against non-European opposition ahead of the World Cup.
Rangnick’s side head into the fixture in strong home form, unbeaten in their last 11 matches in Austria. Their only previous meeting with Ghana ended in a 1-1 draw in 2007.
