Ghana's national football team coach, Chris Hughton, is set to address the media on Monday, January 1, 2024, at 11 am, unveiling the final squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Cote D'Ivoire.

The press conference will be hosted at the Alisa Hotel and will be broadcast live on the official pages of the Ghana Football Association, including Facebook, YouTube, and the Ghana Football App. This engagement aims to provide Coach Hughton with the opportunity to interact with the sports media in anticipation of the continental tournament scheduled to take place from Saturday, January 13, to Sunday, February 11, 2024.

As part of the team's preparation for the tournament, the Black Stars of Ghana are scheduled to play an international friendly against Namibia at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Monday, January 8, 2024.
