The Black Galaxies will face Swedru All Blacks in a friendly match at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence on Saturday, November 30, 2024, with kickoff set for 8:00 AM local time.

This fixture serves as a critical rehearsal for the highly anticipated TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 qualifiers against archrivals Nigeria next month.

Under the guidance of Coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, the team has been fine-tuning their preparations for the decisive two-legged clash.

Earlier in the week, the Galaxies demonstrated their attacking prowess with a 3-2 victory over Akatsi All Stars in a similar warm-up encounter.

Goals from Emmanuel Antwi of Asante Kotoko, Medeama’s Nurudeen Abdulai, and Mustapha Yakubu from Heart of Lions highlighted the team’s offensive depth and readiness.

The upcoming CHAN qualifiers represent a renewal of one of Africa’s most storied football rivalries.

Ghana will host the first leg of the tie between December 20 and 22, 2024, before traveling to Nigeria for the second leg, scheduled for December 27 to 29, 2024.

The stakes are high, as the winner will secure a place in the CHAN 2024 tournament, set to be held in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.

Ghana’s Black Galaxies previously edged out Nigeria to qualify for the last CHAN tournament in Algeria, winning via penalties after a 2-2 aggregate draw.

With history and pride on the line, this upcoming battle promises to be a thrilling contest between two giants of African football.

The friendly against Swedru All Blacks provides a vital opportunity for the team to sharpen their strategies and build momentum ahead of this epic showdown.
