The World Cup Qualifier match is set for this coming Saturday in Cape Coast.

Skipper c is expected to be the first player to arrive in the West African country later today while coach Norman Mapeza and his technical team leave the country tomorrow.

They are expected to link up with the South Africa-based contingent in Johannesburg, on the way to Accra. The England-based players will also fly straight to the West African nation’s capital, Accra.

The Warriors delegation will then leave Accra on Wednesday for Cape Coast, where they are set to set up base ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
