Ghana could pitch camp in Abu Dhabi, UAE to fine-tune preparations for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

According to reports in the local media, the Football Association has informed the Sports Ministry about their intention to camp in the Gulf for the tournament to be held in Equatorial Guinea.

If confirmed, the team will use facilities at the Zayed Sports City where they camped before the last Nations Cup finals in South Africa.

New coach Avram Grant, who is currently on a tour of Europe, has got an input to make and is yet to communicate his plans to the Ghana federation officials.

“We have not confirmed anything as such [Abu Dhabi camp]; we are still in the discussions,” Black Stars’ management committee chairman George Afriyie told supersport.com.

Other 2015 Africa Cup of Nations finalists Ivory Coast and Mali have also expressed interest in using the facilities at the Zayed Sports City to prepare.
