Ghana have arrived in Egypt before the Total 2019 African Cup of Nations (Afcon).

The Black Stars landed at the Cairo International Airport on Friday afternoon before travelling to their base camp. The players will be staying at the Tolip El Forsan in Ismalia.

Kwesi Appiah and his men spent three weeks in Abu Dhabi, Dubai preparing for the continent football championship.

While there, the four-time champions engaged in two practice matches against the Brave Warriors of Namibia and Bafana Bafana of South Africa – which finished 0-1 and 0-0 respectively.

Ghana are placed in Group F alongside Benin, Cameroon and Guinea Bissau.

Ghana will open her campaign against Benin at the Ismaily Stadium on Tuesday, June 25 before facing their West African neighbours Cameroon at the same venue four days later.

They will conclude their first round of games against Guinea Bissau at the Suez Stadium on July 2.

Ghana are chasing for their first Afcon trophy since 1982.
