The Ghana Football Association(GFA) intends to camp the Black Stars in Europe later this month despite the postponement of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, JoySports has gathered.

Officials of the football governing body in Ghana hinted JoySports of their desire to allow the technical team to further assess the team and will use the qualifying dates for friendly matches.
