Carney Chukwuemeka is bracing for a lively contest when Austria take on Black Stars in an international friendly scheduled for Vienna.
The upcoming fixture forms part of Austria’s build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with head coach Ralf Rangnick keen to test his squad against opponents from outside Europe.
Chukwuemeka, one of the newest additions to the Austrian setup, has quickly adapted to life in camp following the team’s training stint in Marbella and is eager to experience his first outing in the colours of his adopted national side.
“I simply expect it to be exciting,” he said ahead of the highly anticipated encounter.
The midfielder’s remarks capture the mood within the Austrian camp, where there is growing anticipation ahead of the clash with Ghana.
For both teams, the friendly presents an important opportunity to assess tactical approaches, integrate new players, and build cohesion ahead of the World Cup, with Friday’s game expected to provide a competitive and entertaining spectacle.
