With Nigeria aiming to capitalize on their recent success as runners-up in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and Ghana seeking redemption following a disappointing group stage exit in the same tournament, both teams are poised for a competitive showdown.

Speaking ahead of the game, Finidi said, "They call it friendly matches, but there is really nothing friendly when you play, especially Ghana. Matches between our countries are serious duels and are always seen as battles by our people."

Ghana will face Nigeria at 4 pm on Friday before taking on Uganda next week Tuesday to wrap up their match international break.
