Ghana’s biggest ever result till date was a 13-2 thumping of Kenya in an international friendly in December 1965 at the Jamhuri Park.
Kenya, the new, proud and ambitious republic, had invited the Black Stars to play its national team two friendly matches to mark its first Jamhuri Day but the Ghanaians showed no mercy.
Ghana recorded a big 5-0 win over Ethiopia on June 11 last year and gets ready for the second assignment this weekend.
But the Black Stars are visitors of the Harambee Stars this Saturday at the Moi International Sports Center on Day 2 of the 2019 AFCON qualification and we at FootballMadeinGhana.com take a look at the head to head record between the two nations.
