Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has confirmed that the Black Stars will open camp in Morocco ahead of their Matchday 9 games against Central African Republic in the ongoing 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The team was expected to open camp in Accra ahead of the game, which will now be staged at the Stade d'Honneur de Meknes in Morocco on Wednesday, October 8.
However, Asante Twum, speaking in an interview, has revealed that instead of opening camp in Accra, the entire team will open camp in Morocco on Sunday, October 5.
"Various discussions have been held, and I can confirm that there is a proposal that the players will report to Morocco instead of Accra because we don't have enough time to prepare for the game," he told Woezor TV's Arena.
These players will play for their respective clubs this weekend, so we are expecting that the players will report to camp on Sunday and then the last badge of players are expected on Monday since the game is on a Wednesday so if they reports to Accra, they will have to be flown to Morocco either on Monday or Tuesday which will be a lot of work because the players will not have enough time and space to rest in between the period and some of the players will be coming from a far disctance so the last meeting we had, we proposed that we will meet in Morocco instead of meeting in Accra before flying to Morocco and that what is being firmed up," he added.
Asante Twum also revealed that Otto Addo has submitted and defended his squad. The squad is expected to be announced this week.
After the game against Central African Republic, the Black Stars will return home to wrap up their qualifiers against Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 12.
Ghaan, who sit top of Group I with 19 points, will need a win to seal their fifth Mundial qualification.
