Black Stars of Ghana head coach, Otto Addo says the friendly games against Nigeria and Uganda will prepare the team for June’s World Cup qualifiers against Mali and Central African Republic.
Addo is back in charge of the Black Stars following the sacking of Chris Hughton.
Hughton lost his job after the team’s dismal outing at the 2023 Africa Cup Cup of Nations, where they were eliminated at the group stage.
The former midfielder wants to use the two friendlies to assess his team before the World Cup qualifiers resume later in the year.
“For me, it’s always the same. Each match has different preferences and different options. But also different hurdles and different solutions and for us it’s always the aim to find the right solutions defensively and offensively,” he said in a pre-match presser.
“So I think Nigeria and Uganda it’s an optimal preparation for the team and I think we can expect the same obstacles, so however the game ends, if we take the right conclusions out of these games then we can prepare ourselves for the upcoming matches against Mali and Central African Republic,” he added.
The four-time African champions will slug it out with the Super Eagles on Friday (today) at the Grand Stade de Marrakech before engaging Uganda four days later.
