Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi says the Black Stars have been well conditioned by camping in Addis Ababa for Friday's World Cup qualifier against Sudan. The four-time African champions spent five days in the East African country to trim the rough edges for the crucial Group D qualifier. Kwesi Appiah's select band of 25 players also benefited from weather condition which is similar to what pertains in Omdurman-venue for the match. "Having stayed in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia that is the highest point in Africa," Nyantakyi told the Ghana FA communication division. "Addis Ababa is about 2500 km about see level and so the team has gone through a certain regimen of training, acclamatization and altitude experiences which will help in shaping the team towards the match tomorrow." Ghana beat Sudan 2-0 in Khartoum two years ago in the final 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
