Black Galaxies head coach Kassim Mingle Ocansey has dismissed suggestions that his team is under pressure ahead of Tuesday’s international friendly against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana, describing the match instead as a valuable opportunity for growth.
The Ghana coach believes the encounter will serve as a useful test for the Black Galaxies as he continues to build and shape his squad.
“This game is an opportunity for the Black Galaxies to prove that they are a very good side. I’m happy to have this friendly, but my team is not under any pressure. We believe in building, and that is exactly what I am doing,” Kassim Mingle Ocansey said, as quoted by ghanafa.org.
The friendly will be played at the Dobsonville Stadium on Tuesday, with kick-off scheduled for 2:00 pm Ghana time.
For Bafana Bafana, the match forms part of their preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), which kicks off in Morocco on Sunday, December 21.
Ghana, however, will not feature at the tournament after failing to secure qualification, making the friendly an important platform for the Black Galaxies to assess progress and build towards future competitions.
