The Black Stars of Ghana will face the Cranes of Uganda in their first FIFA World Cup qualifying game.

The Black Stars had their first training session in Accra on Tuesday and continued in Tamale on Wednesday and finalised it on Thursday afternoon.

All the 24-man squad invited by coach Avram Grant for the hurdle were present to justify their inclusion in Friday's encounter.

Before they went for their Thursday training exercise, they had paid a courtesy call on the Buipewura and Dakpema, two of the major chiefs in Tamale.
