The Black Stars will face Japan on November 14 and South Korea on November 18 as part of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Players won’t receive bonuses for the friendly matches, and will only receive daily allowances during the tour. The host nations, Japan and South Korea, are funding the Black Stars’ participation.
