Despite being ineligible for the doubleheader against the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Black Stars captain Andre Ayew will reportedly be in the camp of the team.

The first leg of the match is scheduled for March 25, 2022, with the second leg four days later.
The Black Stars squad for the games is show yet to be released with news circling that Ghana want to keep it as a ‘surprise package’.
