Ghana are set to face Tanzania in an international friendly during the September international window, giving Carlos Queiroz another opportunity to assess his squad following the Black Stars' 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign.

Tanzania have confirmed the friendly as part of their plans for the extended international break, which will also see both nations begin their respective 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaigns.

A Packed Schedule for Both Sides

Ghana are scheduled to open their qualification campaign against Côte d'Ivoire before hosting Gambia in their second Group F fixture. Queiroz's side are then expected to meet Tanzania several days later, as the Portuguese coach continues preparations for the next phase of his tenure.

Tanzania will enter the friendly with their own qualifying commitments to manage, having been drawn alongside Guinea-Bissau and Madagascar, whom they face before facing Ghana. As co-hosts of the 2027 AFCON, the Taifa Stars will also use the international window to build towards the tournament on home soil.

Squad News

Tanzania have already named their squad for the upcoming fixtures, with BK Häcken midfielder Sabri Kondo returning to the fold and Bernard Kamungo receiving a call-up.

The Ghana Football Association recently confirmed that Queiroz will remain in charge after guiding the team at the World Cup. The former Portugal coach is expected to announce his squad for the September fixtures in the coming weeks, as Ghana begin preparations for another AFCON campaign.
