The Management Committee chairman for Black Galaxies, Dr Tony Aubynn, has revealed why the team is struggling to get a high-profile match ahead of their CHAN qualifier against Benin later this month.
The home-based Black Stars are currently in camp at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram preparing ahead of the two-legged encounter.
The team has been playing against lower-tier sides in their preparatory games.
According to the Medeama Board Chairman, the team is struggling to get international friendlies because most of the countries available don’t have immediate assignments and clubs are on break after the season.
“Preparations are going well and our challenge is getting international friendlies. Most of the countries don’t have immediate assignments like us and it making it difficult to getting them”, he said in an interview on Wamputu Sports with Odiasempa Kwame Oware on Happy FM.
“We all know these invitational games come with a cost. The Premier League teams are also on a break so it’s impossible to also get them to play a friendly game.
“The team will be moving to Cape Coast to camp over there ahead of the game on July 24, 2022.
“I proposed the name Black Galaxies and the only appreciation I will want is if the team qualifies to the CHAN tournament”, he added.
