- USA Vs Ghana – Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Connecticut
Ghana Black Stars will play the United States of America in an International Friendly match on 1st July 2017.
The development was confirmed by the US Soccer governing body on Tuesday.
This friendly will serve as part of the US build-up to the CONCACAF Gold Cup to be played from 7th-26th July, 2017.
Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Connecticut has been also confirmed as the venue for the match.
US head coach Bruce Arena noted in a statement to the media that the friendly is a timely check for his charges as far as preparations for the Gold Cup are concerned;
Ghana is certainly a team that brings different challenges, and it’s the type of competition we need as we continue to develop our program.
Winning the Gold Cup is one of our priorities in 2017, so this is an important opportunity.
We’ve always had great support in Hartford, and look forward to more of the same this summer.
Ghana is in the same group with Uganda Cranes in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. The Black Stars and the Cranes played to a goalless draw in the first meeting of the qualifiers.
