Ghana is keenly observing developments in the camps of her opponents in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, Black Stars Coach Charles Akonnor has confirmed.

The Black Stars are housed in the same group with South Africa, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe for a single spot to the next phase of the qualifiers.

Originally, the qualifying campaign should have started next month but was moved further ahead to September by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) due to Covid-19 related concerns.

In the absence of competitive games, the Ghana FA has arranged two friendly matches against the Atlas Lions of Morocco and the Elephants of Ivory Coast in June.
