Ghana will play Qatar in an international friendly football on October 12 in Turkey’s Antalya, the Ghana Football Association announced here late Wednesday. 2022 FIFA World Cup hosts Qatar will replace Equatorial Guinea, who pulled out of the friendly due to travel restrictions. Ghana will thus play Mali three days before playing Qatar. The two matches in Turkey would be useful for Ghana’s new manager Charles Akonnor, who is yet to oversee a game since his appointment in January this year. Ghana’s most recent matches were wins against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe in November 2019.
