The Ghana national football team, the Black Stars, kicked off their first training session in Nagoya on Wednesday as they prepare for their upcoming international friendlies against Japan and South Korea.
A total of nineteen players participated in the opening session, including newly arrived Al Qadsiah winger Christopher Bonsu Baah, who joined the camp earlier in the day.
The session was led by the team’s technical staff as preparations intensified for their Kirin Challenge Cup encounter with Japan scheduled for Friday.
Among the players currently in camp are Joseph Anang, Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Derrick Kohn, Jerome Opoku, Ebenezer Annan, Jonas Adjetey, Kojo Oppong Peprah, Caleb Yirenkyi, Alidu Seidu, Gideon Mensah, Abu Francis, Kwasi Sibo, Prince Owusu, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Antoine Semenyo, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Kelvin Nkrumah, and Prince Adu Kwabena.
Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, who featured in the weekend’s Super Clash against Asante Kotoko, is expected to link up with the squad before their final practice session.
The Black Stars will wrap up their preparations with a final training session at Toyota Stadium in Aichi on Thursday, November 13, before facing Japan on Friday, November 14, 2025. They will then travel to take on South Korea four days later in the second match of their Asian tour.
