Fresh from clinching a World Cup place, Ghana would continue with their fine form later Wednesday when the Black Stars play Japan in a friendly in the Dutch city of Utrecht.
Both sides are finalists for the 2010 World Cup.
Milovan Rajevac has 18 players to select from as he hands call ups to Francis Dickoh and Anthony Obodai but sticks to almost the same side that qualified Ghana for the 2010 showpiece over the weekend.
The game comes barely three days after Ghana became the first African nation to make it to the World Cup finals after defeating Sudan 2-0 in the Group D qualifiers in Accra on Sunday.
Wednesday’s game would be the second time in three years that both nations are playing in an international friendly with the last game coming in 2006 as the Black Stars beat Japan 1-0 in Yokohama to lift the Kirin Challenge Cup.
Ghana team:
Goalkeepers: Richard Kingson (Wigan Athletic, England) and William Amamoo (Vaasaland, Sweden)
Defenders: John Paintsil (Fulham, England), Samuel Inkoom (Basel FC, Switzerland), Harrison Afful (Asante Kotoko, Ghana), John Mensah (Sunderland, England), Eric Addo (Roda JC, Holland) Isaac Vorsah (Hoffenheim, Germany) and Francis Dickoh (FC Utrecht, Holland)
Midfielders: Michael Essien (Chelsea, England), Anthony Annan (Rosenborg, Norway), Sulley Muntari (Inter Milan, Italy), Laryea Kingston, (Hearts, Scotland) and Anthony Obodai (RKC Waalwijk, Holland)
Strikers: Stephen Appiah (Unattached), Asamoah Gyan (Rennes, France), Matthew Amoah (NAC Breda, Holland) and Haminu Draman (Locomotive Moscow, Russia)
