Ghana face Trinidad and Tobago in the Unity Cup third place play-off this afternoon (Getty Images) The Unity Cup international football tournament concludes this afternoon and first up is the third-place play-off between Ghana and Trinidad and Tobago. A vastly inexperienced Black Stars squad were beaten 2-1 by rivals Nigeria on Wednesday night, though that was certainly a game of two halves. Second best in the opening 45 minutes at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium, Otto Addo's side trailed by two at the break.

But Dwight Yorke's side conceded an injury time penalty from which Richard King successfully dispatched in a dramatic finale. If the games both nations were involved in earlier in the week is any indication, entertainment is guaranteed in west London this afternoon.

Ghana bring in Schafer as Black Stars technical advisor
The Ghana Football Association has brought in Africa Cup of Nations-winning coach Winfried Schafer as part of a revamp of its coaching set-up. The 75-year-old German, who guided Cameroon to continental glory in 2002, has been appointed as director of football. He will also serve as technical advisor for the Black Stars alongside head coach Otto Addo as the West Africans bid to improve their fortunes. Ghana failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and will miss the finals for the first time since 2004, while they sit second in their 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifying group. Only the group winners are guaranteed a place at the tournament in North America next year. The Ghana FA has tasked Schafer with developing and implementing long-term strategic plans, leading youth development and ensuring "consistent high performances" by national sides. Meanwhile, Ghana Under-20 coach Desmond Ofei has become assistant coach of the Black Stars, Kris Perquy has been appointed as team psychologist and fellow Belgian Gregory de Grauwe will serve as chief video analyst.
