Former Black Queens captain Adwoa Bayor, ex-midfielder Doreen Awuah and 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup hero Memunatu Suleymana will also play on Sunday.
Former Accra Great Olympics and Okwahu United trainer J. E. Sarpong will be the Coach of the side.
The GFA would use the game as a prelude to the 2020/2021 football season by setting in motion all-match day COVID-19 protocols as set out by the GFA/CAF and FIFA.
The Ghana Premier League will kick off on the weekend of November 14-15, 2020.
