The encounter will only serve academic purposes with Ghana having already sealed qualification for next year’s tournament, topping Group H with 13 points so far from five games played, seven points more than second-placed Rwanda.

Ghana coach Grant will use the game as a rehearsal for the 2018 Russia world cup qualifying tie against Uganda on Oct.3.

Mozambique will play host to Mauritius in the other Group H clash in Maputo.

The 2017 edition of the AFCON will be hosted by Gabon from Jan.21 to Feb.12. Enditem
