The first leg will be held on Friday at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, with the second leg taking place on Tuesday at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

“It’s that time of year when every Ghanaian must rise up and be counted.”

“It’s that time of year when our country’s pride is on the line,” Okraku told Joy Sports.

“It’s that time of year when Ghana should be at the World Cup, but before we can, we have a common rival in Nigeria’s Super Eagles.”

“They appear to be our little babies, but they pretend to be big boys,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Ghana has a stronger head-to-head record against Nigeria, having not lost to the Super Eagles in almost 16 years.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
