A total of 24 players participated in the rigorous training session on the first day.
The technical team, led by head coach Chris Hughton, conducted a thorough assessment of both the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex at Abrankese.
Following the evaluation, the team opted to move the initial training session to the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex due to unfavourable pitch conditions at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
