Black Stars captain Thomas Partey says facing Niger on neutral ground will not be an advantage for his side ahead of Monday's fixture.

Ghana will face Niger in their second game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier with the fixture moved to Berkane, Morocco.

The decision comes after CAF declared the facilities in Niger as being unplayable.

Many believe the game being on neutral will give the Black Stars an advantage as they will avoid intimidation. However, Partey does not believe there is any such thing for Otto Addo's side.

"I don't think there is any advantage there [in playing the game in Morocco]," Partey said in an interview with SuperSport. "It all depends on how we approach the game.

"If we go with the approach to win, we go there to win because there are a lot of good players now and you can't underrate anyone."

Partey added that he has full belief in the current project and expects to hit top gear soon.

"I believe in all the players that come in the team; young and the quality that they have," he added. "I think all they need is our support and the support of every Ghanaian. I see from training the quality and I am really sure it's going to be massive."

The game is scheduled to be played at the Stade Municipal de Berkane.
