The available players will begin training at the Accra Sports Stadium later on Monday. They will undergo rigorous training for a minimum of four days before departing for Madagascar.
This will allow the players to fine-tune their skills, strategies, and team dynamics in preparation for the match.
The match will take place on June 18 at the Mahamasina Municipal Stadium in Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital city.
Chris Hughton understands the importance of this game, as a win or draw is required to qualify for the next Africa Cup of Nations tournament, which will be held in Ivory Coast.
