Honduras is close to reaching an agreement to play Ghana in an international friendly on March 3, 2010 in South Africa.
The match is expected to open the newly-built Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, which has a 46,000 seat capacity, and will be the same venue for Honduras’ Group H opener against Chile on June 16, 2010.
Coach Reinaldo Rueda says next month’s friendly will help the players acclimatize to conditions before the World Cup tournament kick-starts. He plans to field a strong squad that will be led by striker David Suazo, Wilson Palacios, Maynor Figueroa, and Hendry Thomas.
Ghana is expected bring out the team that finished runners-up at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.
