2022 FIFA World Cup: Even if we don’t beat any team we must beat Uruguay - Ex-president Mahama

Former Ghana President, John Dramani Mahama has charged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to back the Black Stars to beat Uruguay at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

According to him, a win against the North American side will be a sweet revenge to pay back striker Luiz Suarez for costing Ghana a place at the semi finals of the 2010 tournament.

"Unfortunately, we are in a Group of death. The teams in our Group are the strongest and look at what faith has made, bringing Uruguay into our Group again," former President John Dramani Mahama said as quoted by ghanafa.org.

The Ghanaian statesman added "It will be sweet revenge if we score them and so even if you don’t beat anybody, just beat Uruguay for me and lets pay Suarez back for what he did to us."

At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Ghana has been pitted in Group H. Besides Uruguay, the Black Stars will also face Portugal and South Korea.
