The players went through various training drills and warm-up exercises, while others engaged in ball work to maintain their fitness and sharpness.

Members of the technical team were also present, guiding the players through their assigned tasks. Interim head coach Kim Lars Björkegren was seen issuing instructions and observing the players as they went through their routines.

The atmosphere in camp appeared positive, with players and officials looking excited and determined as they prepared for the encounter. The Black Stars will be eager to secure victory against their opponents and avoid another disappointing AFCON qualification campaign.

Almost all the players called up were present at the training session, with no withdrawals reported so far. This represents a major boost for the team, particularly after several key players withdrew during the previous international window.
