Ghana will lock horns with Japan in the 2025 edition of the Kirin Challenge Cup, a high-profile friendly encounter that promises to be a key part of both nations’ preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The fixture is scheduled for today, Friday 14th Nov. 2025, at the Toyota Stadium in Aichi, Japan. Anticipation is already building for what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Japan punched their ticket to the World Cup earlier this year with a commanding 2-0 triumph over Bahrain in March, while Ghana sealed their qualification last Sunday after edging Comoros 1-0 in Accra.
For head coach Otto Addo and his technical team, this test will be instrumental in analyzing player performance and tweaking systems before Ghana’s fifth appearance on the world stage, which will take place across Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Kick-off 18:20 GMT/10:20 local time. Watch the game live below:
