The Black Stars of Ghana will
fly out to Addis Ababa later today ahead of Sunday’s 2019 AFCON qualifier
against Ethiopia.
Ghana are currently 3rd in Group
F of qualifying after losing to Kenya in September, while their game against
Sierra Leone was cancelled. Kwesi Appiah and his 19-man squad are expected to
leave Kenya later today in order to arrive in Ethiopia in time for Sunday’s
game.
The FIFA Normalization Committee
yesterday denied claims in some sections of the media that the team had been
stranded in Kenya.
Wide spread reports earlier this
week suggested that the players and the technical team had been left to fend
for themselves after being stranded at their training base in Naivasha.
However, the Normalization
Committee, in a statement on Thursday refuted those claims.
A win for Ghana will send them
2nd above Ethiopia who they beat 5-0 in the opening round of qualifying back in
June last year.
Meanwhile 3 qualifying matches
will be played across the continent on Friday. South Sudan, who are already out
with no chance of qualifying, host Burundi.
Egypt, host Tunisia, with both
countries having qualified already, and Morocco host Cameroon .
