Interim head coach Justine Madugu has confirmed the high-profile fixture, which will take place on Moroccan soil just days before the tournament kicks off.

The build-up to WAFCON has already seen the nine-time champions notch a 2-0 win over Cameroon in a friendly played in Nigeria. The team will continue their training camp in Portugal before moving to Morocco for the final leg of their preparations.
Drawn in Group B, Nigeria will face Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana in the group stage, beginning their campaign on July 6 at Casablanca’s Stade Mohamed V. The Falcons, last crowned African champions in 2018, are aiming to reclaim their dominance on the continent.
Ghana, meanwhile, are based in Benslimane for their own training camp and have been placed in Group C with South Africa, Mali, and Tanzania. Both teams view the friendly as a crucial dress rehearsal for a potentially historic WAFCON run.
