The Ghana Football Association has confirmed that the Black Stars will face Austria in an international friendly match on March 27, 2026, at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium, kicking off at 17:00 GMT.
This match is part of Ghana’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
The friendly against Austria is a crucial test for coach Otto Addo’s team, providing an opportunity to fine-tune tactics and build squad cohesion ahead of the tournament.
