Black Stars to play Uganda in friendly on March 26

The Uganda Football Association (UFA) has announced an imminent friendly between the Cranes and Ghana’s Black Stars in the upcoming international break.

The game, which is scheduled for March 26, will be held at the Stade Grande Marrakech in Marrakech, Morocco.

According to the Uganda Football Association, the friendly match is part of Uganda’s preparations for the impending 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Before the game against Ghana, Uganda will also face Comoros.

The Black Stars have been without a head coach since their disappointing campaign in Cote d’Ivoire which saw Chris Hughton dismissed after another group-stage exit at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The GFA has been looking for a new coach since Hughton’s dismissal but no replacement has been named thus far.

The friendly against Uganda provides an opportunity for Ghana to assess their strength and readiness ahead of their crucial World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic in June.
