The preparation of the dams of the 2014 World Cup playoffs has already begun in some teams. On Tuesday, one of the teams that qualified for the playoffs engages in a friendly match.

The Black Stars of Ghana are in Yokohama to face Japan. The selection led by Kwesi Appiah has no more executives left at the disposal of their club. Only 17 players made the trip. These are Fatau Dauda, Razak Braimah, Samuel Inkoom, Daniel Opare, Harrison Afful, Kissi Boateng, John Boye, Jonathan Mensah, Rashid Sumaila, Rabiu Mohammed Yussif Raman, Albert Adomah, Solomon Asante, Christian Atsu, Frank Acheampong Abdul Majeed Waris and Mahatma Otoo.

Another friendly, but on the continent this time. South Africa faces in the Orlando Stadium Zimbabwe. Bafana Bafana who planned this game in anticipation of a qualification for the final round of the playoffs nevertheless maintained it, despite their elimination.

South Africa despite its wide victory 4-1 on Botswana over the past weekend remained docked in favor of Ethiopia.
