The local Black Stars have arrived in Cape Town for the 2014 African Nations Championship final on Saturday.

The team left Bloemfontein in the early hours of Thursday and have landed in Cape Town.

Maxwell Konadu will hold a light training session with them and the players will be allowed to rest.

This is the first time the home-based national will be playing away from the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein where they played all five matches.

Ghana put up a spirited display to beat Nigeria 4-1 on penalties in the semi-final clash on Wednesday night.

They will play Libya, who beat Zimbabwe 5-4 on penalties, in Saturday's final.
