Ghana will on Thursday, November 12, 2020 take on the North Africans in the first of a double header tie at the Cape Coast stadium, before travelling to Khartoum, five days later for the reverse fixture.

Harrison Afful will be looking to make his 85th cap for the senior national team since his debut in 2008.
