The Ghana national team have returned to training with renewed confidence as they prepare for Monday’s Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifier against Somalia.
The Black Stars resumed work on Saturday for their final international fixture of 2026, having taken a 2-0 lead from Thursday’s meeting with Somalia at Sekondi Stadium.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) said the session was marked by “energy, smiles and sharpness” as the players trained with the confidence gained from their victory over the Somali side.
Ghana did not undertake an on-pitch session on Friday. Instead, the squad completed an indoor workout at the team hotel, 24 hours after the win, to aid recovery and allow the players to refresh and take care of their bodies following a hot afternoon in Sekondi.
The Black Stars are scheduled to train again on Sunday, when the technical team will make the final adjustments ahead of the second leg on Monday, 16 November 2026.
The coaching staff are expected to focus on the aspects of Thursday’s performance that proved decisive, as Ghana attempt to secure another important result in the qualifying campaign.
The points would help Ghana continue their progress in the standings and strengthen their prospects of reaching the next Africa Cup of Nations, which will be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
Thursday’s victory has restored optimism around the national team, with supporters returning after the improved result. Ghana will now aim to complete their 2026 international programme with another win against Somalia.
