Super Eagles opponent in Tuesday must win Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier match will train at the MKO Abiola Stadium 4.00 pm on Monday according to team coach Otto Addo.
The Black Stars of Ghana will fly to Abuja directly from Kumasi on Monday morning for the decisive 2022 World Cup playoff against Nigeria on Tuesday.
The team will depart the Kumasi Airport in a chartered flight on Monday morning enroute to Abuja for the massive showdown against their sworn rivals.
Addo's men will hold their official training session at the Moshood Abiola National Sports Stadium at 16:00 GMT.
The tie has been left wide opened after the two regional rivals played out a 0-0 draw in the first leg of their World Cup playoff in Kumasi on Friday night.
The return fixture in Abuja will decide a place at the World Cup for one of the two powerful African nation with a lot at stake.
Ghana had more of the possession and chances but proved sloppy in their finishing during the first leg in Kumasi.
Only twice did they test goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, who made a stop from a stinging shot by Issahaku Fatawu in the 33rd minute and then again in the 71st minute from Mohammed Kudus.
Nigeria's best opening fell to Moses Simon 10 minutes into the second half but he squandered the chance to score a vital away goal.
Nigeria were awarded a penalty with 15 minutes left when Idrissu Baba Mohamed handled the ball after being tripped in his own penalty area, but after a VAR check the referee changed his decision and handed Ghana a free kick.
Ghana were playing their first game under new coach Otto Addo, who had former Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton as a consultant.
He handed debuts to AS Roma teenager Felix Ohene-Gyan and 33-year-old former Belgium defender Denis Odoi, who switched allegiance ahead of the two-legged playoff.
Leicester City's Ademola Lookman, who had previously played for England at under-21 level, made his Nigeria debut as a substitute for the last 15 minutes.
The winner of the match will qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Ghana need a win or a scored draw to qualify while must win to qualify.
