The Stars had a 21 member contingent in camp including most of the players who featured in the World Cup in South Africa.

APA learns here on Wednesday that deputy coach, Kwesi Appiah has been given the interim mandate to handle the Stars against Sudan and has invited most of the core players of the Black Stars to feature in the game, which is scheduled to be played at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, Ghana’s second largest city.
