Ghana arrives in Johannesburg ahead of must-win game against Ethiopia
The Black Stars have landed in Johannesburg where they aim to beat Ethiopia in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Thursday.
The Stars won the first leg against Ethiopia by 1-0 at Cape Coast in the opening fixture of the qualifying round in Group G.
Ethiopia opted to play the match at the Orlando Stadium after CAF banned them from using their home ground, the Bahir Bar Stadium, because it does not meet the required standards for a Fifa World Cup qualifier coupled with the troubles in the Tigray region.
Black Stars arrived on Wednesday with the technical team led by Milovan Rajevac and the playing body by captain Andre Ayew.
