Wales will host African opposition for the first time when taking on Ghana in the summer.

Craig Bellamy's men will welcome the Black Stars to Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, 2 June, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

Ghana have already qualified for this summer's World Cup when they will go up against England, Croatia and Panama in the group stages.

Wales will hope to join them in north America and face a play-off against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday, 26 March, with the winners going on to host either Italy or Northern Ireland five days later.

Wales' only previous game against an African nation was a 1998 friendly in Tunisia when head coach Bellamy started up front in a 4-0 loss.

The fixture against Ghana - who boast Manchester City forward, and former Newport County loanee, Antoine Semenyo in their side - is one of two friendlies that Bellamy's squad will play in June with the second yet to be announced.
