Ghana to set base in Kenya

Ghana's Black Stars are expected in Nairobi at the end of the month where will pitch camp ahead of their make or break encounter with Sudan in the 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

"Ghana will be in Kenya for one week at the end of the month for intensive training ahead of their encounter with Sudan. The dates of arrival will be announced later," A close source to the Black Stars squad told SuperSport.com.

Ghana have in the past used Kenya as their training base with Ghanaian Federation’s vice chairman Fred Pappoe saying its close proximity to match venues gave players ample time to converge as well as pleasant weather and training facilities.

Ghana were in Kenya early this year as they were preparing for their AFCON match against Congo whom they beat 2-0.
