Ghana’s Black Stars are set to take on Japan in the 2025 Kirin Challenge Cup, a key preparatory match ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Both teams, having already booked their tickets to the global showpiece, will use the friendly as an opportunity to fine-tune tactics and evaluate players.
Japan confirmed their qualification in March with a 2–0 victory over Bahrain, while Ghana sealed their spot after a narrow 1–0 win against Comoros in Accra last Sunday.
Coach Otto Addo will use the encounter to assess his squad and make strategic adjustments before Ghana’s fifth World Cup appearance, which will be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
The much-anticipated clash will take place at Toyota Stadium in Aichi, Japan, on Friday, November 14, 2025.
