Black Stars to play friendly match against Portuguese side Olhanense

As part of preparations towards the African Nations Cup to be staged in Equitorial Guinea, the Senior National Football team, the Black Stars, will play its first friendly match against a Portuguese side Olhanense today at the Algarve Stadium in Portugal.

The fixture will take place some hours before new Coach Avram Grant names his final twenty-three man squad for Africa's flagship event.

Ghana has also arranged a friendly against German Bundesliga side, Freiburg before departing to Equatorial Guinea.

That match will be played at the Estadio Olimpico de Sevilla.

Meanwhile, talks are underway for another friendly against Dutch top flight side Cambuur Leeuwarden.
