The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has called on Ghanaians to support the Black Stars in the game on Friday.
He urged Ghanaians to get their jerseys and wear them.
Our Black Stars face Austria! Get your jerseys ready. Let’s make tomorrow a Wear Your Ghana Jersey day. Let’s show our boys we’re behind them he wrote on Facebook.
Meanwhile, Ghana head coach Otto Addo has expressed strong belief in his team’s preparedness ahead of the Black Stars’ high-profile international friendly against Austria on Friday, March 27, 2026.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference in Vienna, Addo highlighted the depth of preparation undertaken by his technical team, stressing that no detail has been overlooked in analyzing their European opponents.
With Austria known for their high-intensity and aggressive style of play, the Ghanaian bench has focused on tactical discipline and adaptability to ensure the team can respond effectively on the pitch.
Now the full focus is on Austria. We saw what they do, we have analysed them well and are very hopeful that the players will do it at the end, Addo stated.
The match, set to take place at the iconic Ernst Happel Stadium, represents a key moment in Ghana’s build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It offers the Black Stars a valuable opportunity to test their systems, evaluate player combinations, and measure themselves against top European competition.
Ghana’s preparations have been intense in recent days, with the coaching staff placing significant emphasis on tactical awareness, defensive organization, and quick transitions.
The technical team is also using these fixtures to assess squad depth and identify players capable of performing under pressure on the global stage.
I think in modern day football, to be honest, everyone can beat everyone. We want to win every match we play, and this is for sure.
