Ghana coach CK Akonnor believes Mali will provide a good test for his side in October’s friendly fixture ahead of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Sudan in November.
The Black Stars are set to face the Eagles in Turkey on October 9 in what will be his first match since assuming duty in January.
“Mali is a strong side, we have seen a couple of matches that they played in the Afcon, a very strong force and it is a very good test for us,” Akonnor said, as reported by the Ghana Football Association’s official website.
