Ghana will face Mexico in an international friendly on Saturday, October 14, 2023 at a venue yet to be announced.

According to the GFA, the upcoming friendly with the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup champions is to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the MexTour.

”The Ghana Football Association has signed a contract with the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF) and Soccer United Marketing (SUM) for an International friendly against 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup champions Mexico in the United States as part of the 20th anniversary of the MexTour” a statement from the GFA said on Tuesday.

The four-time African champions have endured mixed results since their shambolic group stage exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Explaining the relevance of this friendly, the GFA revealed ”this International friendly forms part of Ghana’s preparations for important competitions such as the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in November and the Africa Cup of Nations in January next year”.

Ghana will later play the US National team at GEODIS Park in Nashville on October 17 before wrapping their tour of the United States.

The Black Stars and Mexico have been involved in three games since 2006. With the Mexicans winning all 3 games.
