CHAN Qualifiers- Black Stars B: Annor Walker discloses the date to start camping with 35 invited players

The head coach for Black Stars ‘B’, Coach Annor Walker has confirmed the opening date his team will report to camp for preparations ahead of the upcoming CHAN qualifier against Benin.

Thirty-five players have been invited to report to camp at 4:00 pm on Monday, May 30, 2022, at the Ghanaman Centre of Excellence to begin preparation for the Championship of African Nations (CHAN) qualifiers.

The Black Stars B will play Benin in the preliminary stage of the qualifiers in search of a ticket to the biennial competition scheduled for Algeria in January 2023.

Ghana has failed to qualify for the tournament in the last three editions and will hope to make another appearance this time around. The Black Stars ‘B’ finished 2nd in 2009 and 2014.

According to the gaffer the team will train from Monday to Thursday before they will be released to their clubs for the ongoing Premier League.

Ghana will host Benin in the first leg on the weekend of July 22-24 with the return leg slated for July 29-31, 2022.

Speaking in an interview after the draw was held, the 61-year old Olympics trainer said;

“I thank God for the draw. By God’s grace, we will play Benin. We are not afraid but all we need to do is to start camping next week to prepare ourselves. I’ve called about 35 players for the camping and it is a provisional squad. Your performance will determine whether you will stay or omitted for someone to join. We are not afraid.” He told Ghanasportspage.com.

“We will start our camping and that’s where I will see my squad and then build the team for the tournament.

“Honestly, those, I’ve invited will start camping this Monday. Because of the ongoing league, they will come to every Monday and train until Thursday before I will release them for their various clubs for the league matches. Your performance will determine whether you have to come back or not so that a different player can be added” He added.
