Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari says he and team-mates John Mensah and Asamoah Gyan are excited by the friendly against England at Wembley on 29 March.
The Sunderland trio are in the Black Stars squad for the encounter, which will be played before a sell-out crowd including 20,000 Ghana supporters.
“We want to play, it’s at Wembley, against one of the best nations in the world,” Muntari told BBC Newcastle.
“No one wants to miss big games and important games like this one.”
Muntari added: “We’ve been looking forward to this game for a long time, and even the people in Ghana are looking forward to us playing England, we’re just looking forward to the day.
“We want to win, but we want to play good football and entertain the fans.
“England always have a strong team, they always play good football, we don’t care who plays and we just want to make our country proud.”
Sunderland handed Muntari a return to the Premier League after a a two-and-a-half year absence when they agreed a loan deal with European champions Inter Milan in January.
The 26-year-old won the FA Cup with Portsmouth prior to his £12.7m move to the Italian giants, and was a Scudetto and Champions League winner at the Giuseppe Meazza prior to his move to the Stadium of Light.
“It was easy to settle in, because there are fantastic people here, the guys are great always,” Muntari added.
“The manager has been good to me, the Premier League is not new to me, I love English football and I am pleased to be here.”
