The training is part of preparations for the run-off in Manouba, where 46 candidates are vying for local councils in the region, according to the same source. During the campaign for the first round of elections, the IRIE recorded a total of 732 electoral activities and 33 violations involving 164 candidates in the region's direct elections, in which 26 candidates won seats on local councils in the first round.

The Anderlecht player sustained a knock during the encounter with Egypt, which ended in a 2-2 draw at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny last Thursday in Abidjan. The player was seen limping after the match, with many questions being asked about his availability for the Mozambique encounter, considering how crucial he is for the team. But after an assessment by the Black Stars medical team on Friday, they are confident the player will be able to partake in the team's training sessions before the Mozambique encounter. He is expected to undergo a late fitness test in order to be selected for the game against the Mambas of Mozambique. The highly anticipated clash between Ghana and Mozambique will be played at the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpe in Abidjan on Monday, January 22, 2024. Source: Ghana News Agency
