Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, are gearing up for two crucial international friendly matches against Austria and Germany, as part of their preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
Head coach Otto Addo is expected to announce his squad this week, selecting players who will compete in both fixtures. The announcement will be a key moment in the Black Stars’ bid to fine-tune their team ahead of the global tournament.
The first match will take place on Friday, March 27, 2026, at the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna, where Ghana will square off against Austria at 17:00 GMT. This will be followed by another high-profile friendly against Germany, the 2014 World Cup champions, on Monday, March 30, 2026, at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Stuttgart.
Otto Addo, who has managed to shape the Black Stars into a competitive force, is expected to call up a strong and balanced squad for both encounters. These friendlies will serve as an important opportunity for Addo to evaluate player performances and make key tactical adjustments ahead of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
The Black Stars are determined to use these friendlies to build momentum, refine their strategies, and prepare mentally and physically for the high stakes of World Cup football. The upcoming friendlies against two European heavyweights are the perfect test to assess the team’s progress and identify areas for improvement.
