Kim Lars Björkegren has reportedly been appointed to lead Ghana’s senior national football team, the Black Stars, for their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Somalia scheduled for November 2027, according to a post shared by GHOne TV on October 15, 2026.
The reported appointment comes as Ghana looks ahead to its qualifying campaign for the 2027 AFCON tournament, with attention turning to the technical leadership expected to guide the team through the upcoming fixture.
Björkegren’s reported role places him at the centre of preparations for the match against Somalia, which will form part of Ghana’s efforts to secure a place at the continental competition.
The Black Stars remain a major focus of national sporting interest, with supporters closely following decisions concerning the team’s coaching staff, squad selection and performance in international competitions.
Preparations for the Somalia encounter will require coordination between the technical team and players, including tactical planning and assessment of the squad ahead of the match.
However, the GHOne TV post, as described in the available information, did not provide further details about the terms of Björkegren’s appointment, the duration of his role or the arrangements surrounding the team’s preparations.
The reported announcement also leaves questions about the wider technical setup and the plans for the Black Stars’ remaining fixtures in the qualification campaign.
Further clarification from the Ghana Football Association would help establish the details of the appointment and the team’s preparations for the Somalia match.
For now, the reported development has drawn attention to Ghana’s technical leadership as the country looks towards the 2027 AFCON qualifying campaign.
