Black Stars players will wear black armbands in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Sudan in honor of former President Jerry John Rawlings.
A minute silence will also be observed before kickoff at the Cape Coast stadium on Thursday evening.
“The Confederation of African Football (CAF), has granted Ghana’s request to wear a black armband and observe a minute silence in Thursday’s game against Sudan,” GFA announced.
Rawlings, Ghana’s longest-serving head of state, died in Accra on Thursday after he contracted Covid-19.
The match will kickoff at 4 pm.
