Argentina, the reigning World Cup champions, have reportedly finalized plans for a friendly match against Ghana’s Black Stars. According to sources from Argentina, the game is scheduled to take place in China on March 26, 2024, marking one of Argentina’s two matches during the first international break of the year.
Prior to facing Ghana, Argentina is set to play against China. This encounter with the Black Stars will be the second meeting between the two teams since 2009 when Argentina secured a 1-0 victory.
These friendly matches are seen as crucial preparation for Argentina as they gear up for the 2024 Copa America. The South American champions are currently holders of both the Copa America and the FIFA World Cup, solidifying their status as the top-ranked national team globally.
In contrast, Ghana is positioned at 61st in the world rankings, reflecting a recent decline in performance. The team has faced challenges, failing to advance past the group stage in their last three major tournaments. The upcoming friendly against Argentina provides an opportunity for the Black Stars to test their mettle against a top-tier team and work towards improving their standing in international football.
