The Black Stars will be the guest of the Welsh national team at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, June 2, a game coach Otto Addo will use to sharpen the rough edges before the finals.

It will be the first-ever fixture between the two nations, with Ghana already qualified for its fifth FIFA World Cup to co-hosted by Canada, USA and Mexico.

With Antoine Semenyo in the form of his life since joining Manchester City from Bournemouth, the four-time African champions are expected to give coach Craig Bellamy’s charges a good run.

The Black Stars have already confirmed their place this summer where they are paired against England, Croatia and Panama in Group L.

Wales’ participation will depend on the outcome of the play-off pathway in March. They will face Bosnia & Herzegovina on March 26 and should they progress, they will face Italy or Northern Ireland in a play-off final on March 31.

Ghana have already confirmed friendlies against European sides Austria and Germany as well as Mexico.
