The Black Stars will hit the ground running in Nagoya on Wednesday ahead of their Kirin Cup showdown with Japan on Friday, November 14, 2025.
Coach Otto Addo’s men head into the encounter buoyed by their recent qualification for a fifth FIFA World Cup and are determined to make a strong impression against the Blue Samurai.
However, the team will be without several key players, including captain Jordan Ayew, Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus, Alexander Djiku, Ernest Nuamah, and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku. In their absence, the technical team has assembled a balanced squad, combining promising young talents with seasoned campaigners for the two crucial friendlies.
