Black Stars training
Twenty-three players of the Black Stars squad underwent training at the Marrakech Sports City training facility on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, as part of their preparations for upcoming international friendly matches against Nigeria and Uganda.
Under the guidance of coach Otto Addo, the team has been in Morocco since Monday, gearing up for the two matches scheduled for Friday, March 22, and Tuesday, March 26, 2024, respectively.
