​
Ghana play Russia in an International Friendly to prepare both teams for major tournaments coming, for Ghana, it is due to their performance in previous tournaments that has advertised the nation as a top football nation in Africa.

The Black Stars who have already made it to the next African Nations Cup, Gabon 2017, faces Rwanda on Saturday before flying to Russia.
​
President of the GFA Kwesi Nyantekyi met the players and commended them for showing patriotism as some of the foreign based players contributed to play for their airfares because the Ministry of Youth & Sports is cash strapped.
