Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan is looking forward to the friendly clash with England later in the month and is pleased he will not have to travel far for the game.
The Black Stars take on the Three Lions at Wembley on 29 March in a sell-out match at the new Wembley, although they take on Congo two days earlier.
Sunderland ace Gyan, 25, admits it can be tough when travelling for friendly matches abroad but admits he has to do the job for his country.
"Sometimes for friendly games, if you travel from Europe to South American countries, it's a long flight and everything," he said.
"That is what we have to do. We are sportsmen and we have to travel."
Gyan will miss the crucial 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Brazzaville.
