Ghana face a crucial test against Somalia at the Essipong Sports Stadium as they seek to revive their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

The Black Stars head into the Matchday Three encounter without a point after suffering defeats to Côte d’Ivoire and The Gambia in their opening two Group C matches. Another setback would further complicate their chances of reaching the tournament.

Interim coach Kim Lars Björkegren takes charge of his first competitive game with the senior men's team, with Ghana counting on the return of key players including Mohammed Kudus, Thomas Partey and captain Jordan Ayew.

Somalia are also searching for their first points after losing their opening two fixtures, setting up an important contest between two sides desperate to get their campaigns back on track.

Ghana will be targeting all three points at Essipong before the two teams meet again on Monday, November 16, 2026.
