The Black Stars will play China in an international friendly next month.

The match will be played in Beijing on 15 August.

Ghana will use the match as a warm-up for September's 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Malawi.

"The Black Stars will play China in a friendly match on 15 August to prepare the team for the game against Malawi," Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi said on Friday.

Ghana will also play Malawi in the second-round of the qualifier in October in Blantyre to reach the tournament in South Africa.
