The Ghana national football team, known as the Black Stars, is set to take on Japan in an international friendly on Friday, November 14, 2025, at Toyota Stadium in Aichi, Japan. The high-profile encounter forms part of Ghana’s two-game tour of Asia, which will also see them play South Korea four days later in Seoul.
Head coach Otto Addo has named a 22-man squad for the trip, blending a mix of experienced campaigners and promising new talents. However, several key players — including Mohammed Kudus, Thomas Partey, and Jordan Ayew — have been left out to allow fresh faces to showcase their potential.
Japan, meanwhile, will be without its Parma goalkeeper Kosuke Suzuki, who suffered a wrist and finger fracture in training earlier this week. The Blue Samurai will still field a strong side led by captain Wataru Endo and Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo.
The fixture promises to be a test of tactical discipline, speed, and technique — traits both nations are known for. Ghana will aim to improve its international record and build momentum after a mixed run of results in recent months.
Kick-off is scheduled for 10:00 AM Ghana time (7:00 PM Japan time), and the match will be broadcast live on local sports networks and streaming platforms.
