The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that the Black Stars will be facing Mexico in an international friendly scheduled for October.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the date has been confirmed as October 17, the venue for the match is yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

The GFA has signed a contract with the Federaci\u00f3n Mexicana de F\u00fatbol (FMF) and Soccer United Marketing (SUM) to secure this friendly encounter, which is part of the MexTour\u2019s 20th-anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n

Following their clash with Mexico, the Black Stars will continue their tour of the United States, where they will take on the USA at GEODIS Park on October 17.<\/p>\n

These matches are crucial for Ghana as they prepare for upcoming competitions, including the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November and the Africa Cup of Nations in January of the following year.<\/p>\n
