Some Black Stars players have been spotted at the airport ahead of Ghana’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying double-header against Somalia.
On the evening of Sunday, November 8, 2026, three players expected to join the national team camp arrived at Accra International Airport (AIA) before heading to their destinations as preparations for the matches got underway.
The players were Daniel Kofi Kyereh, Joseph Tetteh Anang and Brandon Thomas-Asante, who appeared excited upon their arrival.

In interviews with journalists, some players confirmed their readiness for the upcoming qualifiers, expressing their determination to do their best and help Ghana secure victories to boost the team's qualification hopes.
“Guys, it has been a long time; I am happy to be back. I cannot wait to see them all, and I am ready to play,” Kofi Kyereh told journalists.
Meanwhile, interim head coach Kim Lars Björkegren was also spotted at the airport as preparations continue ahead of the double-header.
Ghana lost their opening two matches, suffering a 2-0 defeat to Côte d’Ivoire in Bouaké before losing 4-2 to The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The poor results led to head coach Carlos Queiroz’s resignation, prompting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation to begin the search for a new substantive manager.
Kim Lars Björkegren was subsequently appointed to lead the team, with Ibrahim Tanko and Godwin Attram serving as assistant coaches. Former Black Stars goalkeeper Fatawu Dauda has also been appointed goalkeeping trainer.
The first match against Somalia is scheduled for Thursday, November 12, with the return fixture set for November 16.
