Still in preparations for the most favored international football tournament of the century, Thursday unveils a friendly match between the Rossocrociatis (Red Crosses) and the Black Stars of Ghana, who despite the rigors of AFCON (African Cup of Nations), emerged as one of the five African giants to grace the revered championship reserved for the best among continents. This contest would go down as the very first encounter between the sides who aim to test their levels of fitness, bonding, and tactical set-pieces. Domestic attendees would for sure witness a thrilling game as the Black Stars expose a glimpse of her World Cup expectations.

The Red Crosses drew to the Italians in a one-one (1-1) game and thrashed Bulgaria in a four-nil (4-0) game to secure their spot in Group G, for the Qatar tournament.

Winning all their previously lost games in the second leg matches of their UEFA Nations League against the Czech Republic, Spain, and Switzerland, they have shown that no mettle is high enough to not be surmounted.

Having a rather temperate qualification journey, the Swiss pose a better middle ground by offering experience from their Uefa Nations League clash against Portugal, one of the teams faced by rivals Ghana.

Arsenal's Granit Xhaka would captain the Red Crosses leading in the midfield, dominating defenses, and coordinating the frontlines. The team consists of tournament veterans like Fabian Schar (Newcastle United, English Premier League), Haris Seferovic (Galatasaray; Turkey Premier League), Breel Embolo( Monaco, French Ligue 1), Djibril Sow (Eintracht Frankfurt; German Bundesliga) and Ricardo Rodriguez (Torino; Italian Serie A).

The happy tale of "Fortune favors the brave'' seems to describe Ghana's rough but determined journey to Qatar. Starting from a change in management from the moment Coach Otto Addo received a morale less squad from his predecessor, their crashing out of the domestic competition and the discipline required to qualify above Nigeria, one of Africa's favorite to grace the World Cup, Dede Ayew's squad has shown that indeed, they have what it takes to bring the trophy back home, to Accra.

Following mixed reaction from supporters, their recent friendlies show a three goal to nil (3-0) defeat against the Brazilian Samba boys and a one-nil (1-0) to Nicaragua. Otto Addo, Coach of the squad knows that the most required necessity for his team is stability and he would be exhibiting his true intent for the team on the Al Nahyan pitch come thursday.
