Building on a strong performance
Otto Addo’s side enjoyed a productive March international break, securing six points from two fixtures.
The Black Stars dismantled Chad 5-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium, marking the first time they had scored five goals in a game since a dominant 5-1 victory over Qatar in 2020.
They followed up with another commanding display, easing past Madagascar 3-0 in Morocco to claim the top spot in Group I, per Ghanasoccernet.
With World Cup qualifying fixtures not resuming until September, the Ghana Football Association has lined up this four-nation tournament to keep the squad sharp.
According to Black Stars Management Committee Chairman Dr. Randy Abbey, the upcoming friendlies will offer the coaching staff an extended period to refine tactics and strengthen the team.
"Fortunately, the technical team and management will have the opportunity to further work on the team because, in June, we don’t have qualifiers, so we will be playing a four-nation friendly in England.
"And I am sure that it will be an opportunity for the coaches to do some further work on the team," Dr. Abbey told 3Sports.
Which countries will Ghana face in the four-nation tournament?
Ghana will test their mettle against three diverse opponents, each offering a unique tactical challenge.
The Three Lions of England, under newly appointed manager Thomas Tuchel, will provide a stern examination of the Black Stars' defensive resilience and transitional play.
Familiar foes Nigeria will renew their rivalry with Ghana, continuing a long-standing footballing contest that has delivered thrilling encounters over the years.

The Super Eagles, still reeling from their underwhelming 2026 World Cup qualification campaign, will be eager to make a statement.
Completing the lineup is CONCACAF representative Jamaica, a team known for its physicality and attacking flair under the tactical guidance of former Manchester United assistant manager.
The Reggae Boyz will offer a different dynamic, testing Ghana’s ability to adapt to varied styles of play.
For the Black Stars, this tournament serves as more than just a series of friendlies—it’s a crucial step in rebuilding confidence after a failed attempt to qualify for the next Africa Cup of Nations.
