Head Coach of the Black Galaxies, Annor Walker has handed a late call-up to Suraj Seidu and Maxwell Arthur for the 2022 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN).

The two players arrived at the team’s base in Cairo, Egypt at the early hours of Friday, December 30 to join preparations for the competition which will be staged in Algeria from Friday, January 13 to Saturday, February 4, 2023.

The local national team after defeating Egypt U-20 team 2-0 in a friendly encounter on Tuesday are set to take on Egyptian giants Al Ahly in a similar exercise on Saturday, December 31, 2022.

The game will give the technical team the opportunity to test the team’s readiness for the tournament which will see Ghana play Madagascar, Sudan and Morocco in the group stages.

The Black Galaxies will kick start their campaign against Madagascar on Sunday, January 15, before playing Sudan on Thursday, January 19 and then Morocco on Monday, January 23.
