Some senior women's national team players, the Black Queens, have arrived in camp to prepare for next week's international friendly against Japan.
Head coach Nora Hauptle has summoned 33 players for the match, scheduled for July 13 at the Kanazawa Go Go Curry Stadium in Tokyo.
Most of the squad, including England-based players Freda Ayisi, Princella Adubea, and Bridget Adu, have already reported to the training camp.
The team will train in Ghana for a few days before heading to Japan.
The friendly match will serve as preparation for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations following the Black Queens' successful qualification for the tournament in Morocco.
Meanwhile, Japan is preparing for the Olympic Games, a spot Ghana narrowly missed after losing to Zambia in the qualifiers.
This marks Ghana's return to the Women's Africa Cup of Nations after a six-year absence.
