The Black Stars arrived in Brazil Wednesday night for the FIFA World Cup which commences later today.
The Stars landed in Salvador after their scheduled ten hour trip from Washington, USA. The entire playing body, including the currently injured Abdul Majeed Warris was all on board, as well as the technical team.
The Black Stars, who will be based in Maceio for the group stages, then boarded another flight to the north-eastern Brazilian province where a local government delegation as well as some fans were waiting to welcome the team.
Despite arriving early today, the Stars are all set to hit the ground running with their first training session later in the day, with their opening game against the United States on June 16 foremost in their minds.
Defender Daniel Opare, who picked up a knock during training, should be fit to take part in the full session, as well as Adam Kwarasey.
The return of the Norwegian based goalkeeper means coach Kwesi Appiah would once again be presented with the headache of who to choose as his number one shot stopper.
