Mauritania head coach Corentin Martins has named a strong 24-man squad to face Ghana on Tuesday, 26 March in an international friendly.

The Frenchman has handed maiden call-ups to Ibrahima Coulibaly and Souleymane Anne, who ply their trades with Grenoble Foot 38 and FC Aurillac Arpajon respectively.

The Mourabitounes will make a short trip to Accra to tackle the Black Stars just after their last 2019 AFCON qualifier against Burkina Faso on Saturday.

The encounter serves as a preparatory game for both nations ahead of the tournament in Egypt this June.

Mauritania will be making their first ever appearance at Africa's flagship tournament  after the historic feat.
