    The Black Stars of Ghana begin camping from December 27 2009 to adequately prepare towards the 2010 Nations cup in Angola. The spokesperson of the Ghana Football Association Randy Abbey said although the team had already qualified for the continent's big football fiesta it is leaving nothing to chance.

    Speaking shortly after the team’s training session on Tuesday, Abbey said he hopes the team would off its best on Sunday against Mali.

    “We are preparing towards Angola so we find it an extremely important game because our preparation has started now. This game and the Angolan game perhaps will be our last two games before we start our camping,” Abbey told Myjoyonline.com.

    Abbey added: “I think preparation is good we have started very well. We have majority of the players in. The rest are coming tonight (Tuesday). I am sure by tomorrow morning we would have everybody in camp.”

    The West Africans are scheduled to fly to Angola after the Mali game for an international friendly against Angola which will be used to open the newly-built Estádio Cidade Universitária, a key venue for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.

    Apart from Chelsea star Michael Essien, Samuel Inkoom, Asamoah Gyan and Richard Kingston who were conspicuously missing, Coach Milovan Rajevac had his charges available for training, the report said.

    Present at training included Goal keeper Daniel Adjei (Liberty Professionals, Ghana)

    Defenders: John Paintsil (Fulham, England), Jonathan Quartey (Nice, France), Eric Addo (Roda JC, Holland) Lee Addy (Berekum Chelsea, Ghana) Daniel Addo (King Faisal, Ghana) and Aziz Ansah.

    Midfielders: Stephen Appiah (Bologna, Italy), Andre Ayew (Arles-Avagnon, France), Agyemang Badu (Asante Kotoko, Ghana) Sulley Muntari (Inter Milan, Italy)

    Attackers: Matthew Amoah (NAC Breda, Holland), Dominic Adiyiah (Fredrikstad FK, Norway) Rahim Ayew (Zamalek, Egypt) Kwadwo Asamoah (Udinese, Italy).
