The Black Stars of Ghana are set to face off against Angola at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium later today, Thursday, 5 September, 2024.
This game marks the beginning of Ghana's bid for an 11th consecutive qualification for the prestigious tournament.
Ahead of the match, Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey stressed the importance of delivering a strong performance.

He highlighted the formidable challenge posed by Angola, known as the Palancas Negras.
Partey acknowledged the difficulty of the upcoming game, stating: “If we don’t win, we are not going to qualify. I think it's going to be a very difficult game. They have a good team. I've not watched a lot of them but we've been playing against them.”
Emphasising the competitive nature of African football, he added: “We know how difficult it is to play in Africa and we don't have to be, you know, favorites.”
