Black Stars to Face Japan and South Korea in Asian Friendlies Ahead of 2026 World Cup

4

Exclusive: 🇬🇭 The Black Stars are set to face Japan and South Korea in two high-profile international friendlies in Asia next November, as part of their build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The matches are expected to provide head coach Otto Addo with a valuable opportunity to test his squad against top-tier Asian opposition, as Ghana continues to fine-tune its tactical setup ahead of the global showpiece.

Both Japan and South Korea have qualified for multiple World Cups in recent years and are known for their discipline, technical ability, and fast-paced style of play — qualities that will offer Ghana a strong challenge.

The games will also help the Black Stars maintain momentum following their successful qualification campaign, while allowing fringe players a chance to impress and stake a claim for inclusion in the final World Cup squad.

Venues, dates, and kickoff times for the matches are expected to be officially confirmed by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in the coming weeks.
