The Aiglonnets are scheduled for their second friendly encounter against Ghana on Saturday, May 9.

Demonstrating their inherent fighting spirit, the Aiglonnets are poised to leverage this recent experience, which will be crucial for their optimal readiness for the upcoming continental competition. Supporters eagerly await to witness the team’s progression and development in their subsequent preparatory fixtures.
