Black Stars to play Chile in a friendly in New York
Ghana will play Chile in an international friendly
in February next year

Ghana will play Chile in an international friendly
in February next year, says coach of the South
American country.

According to coach Claudio Borghi the match will
be played in the American city of New York on 29
February.

This means the match will be played two weeks
after the Africa Cup of Nations ends in Gabon and
Equatorial Guinea.

Chileans have been crying for the Black Stars to
travel to Santiago to play the game but the
distance and high cost involved means they have to
stick to America.

“I would have loved to play in Chile, but the
costs are too high to bring them (the staff of
Ghana),” the coach of the Chilean team Claudio
Borghi said.

“So New York is a possibility and we will go
with the best we have,” he said.

If the Ghana FA agrees to play the match it will
the first match for the Black Stars in New York
where they have a massive following especially in
Bronx.

A huge attendance will be seen if the game is
played in New York as Ghana fans in that city have
been starved of Black Stars action.
