Black Stars to camp in Qatar for pre-AFCON preparation

The senior national team of Ghana, the Black Stars will camp in Qatar ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon next year. 

Coach Milovan Rajevac is expected to name his team in the coming weeks before embarking on their training tour of the United Arab Emirates.

The team will spend two weeks in Qatar with a series of friendlies lined up before travelling to Cameroon in January for the Nations Cup.

The Black Stars will engage Algeria and two other countries in friendlies.

Ghana is chasing a fifth Africa Cup of Nations success after last winning the tournament in 1982, although they have been close three times.

The four-time champions have been drawn in Group C of the tournament alongside North African giants Morocco, Gabon and Comoros Island.

The Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon begins on January 9, 2022, and ends on February 6.
