Stars to play Honduras, Costa Rica

The president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi, has disclosed that the Black Stars will play against Honduras and Costa Rica in the United States of America (USA) ahead of the World Cup in Brazil.

The GFA has already confirmed two friendlies against the Netherlands in Rotterdam on May 31 and Montenegro in Podgorica on March 5.

The latest disclosure means the Stars will begin their preparations in Europe when they play the Netherlands and Montenegro and then end it in the USA with Honduras and Costa Rica.

Mr Nyantakyi said “the Stars will begin their preparations on May 25 in Rotterdam when we play the Netherlands and Montenegro in Europe”.

“We will then continue in Los Angeles, USA, as we play Honduras and Costa Rica in  friendlies,” Nyantakyi disclosed.

He believed these preparations should be enough to put the Stars in good shape before the World Cup kicks off and, therefore, urged the team to market Ghana by putting up a splendid performance at the global showpiece.
