Satellites to open Toulon 2022 campaign with Mexico clash

The Black Satellites will kick off their 2022 Maurice Revello Tournament campaign with a Group B encounter against Mexico on May 30 at the Stade de Lattre de Tassigny in Aubagne, France.

Coach Karim Zito will be eyeing an improved campaign at the competition, formerly known as the Toulon Tournament, to win back the hearts of Ghanaians following the Satellites recent elimination from the WAFU Zone B tourney in Niger.

Ghana faces Indonesia in their next game on June 2 at the Stade Jules Ladoumegue in Vitrolles, before wrapping up their group campaign against Venezuela on June 5 at the Stade de Lattre de Tassigny in Aubagne.

Algeria, which is pitted in Group C, joins Ghana as the only two African teams invited to feature at the 12-team tournament from May 29 to June 12, 2022.

The Black Satellites last appearance at the Maurice Revello Tournament was in 2007, when Ghana finished 4th in Group B after recording a draw against Netherlands and two defeats to Portugal and China. Strikers Eric Bekoe and Emmanuel Clottey registered Ghana’s only two goals of that tournament, 15 years ago.
