The Black Stars of Ghana have been tipped to go beyond the Preliminary Group Stage at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Speaking to some Ghanaian football experts and listening to old stars, they were optimistic that the Black Stars will shine brighter than previous participation in the FIFA World Cup.
Ghana played at the World Cup in Germany in 2016, South Africa in 2010, and Brazil in 2014. They missed Russia in 2018, but are back in Qatar in 2022.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Mr. Kurt Okraku led officials of the football body to pray and worship for spiritual guidance, protection, luck, and victory at the World Cup.
He said the Black Stars are determined to shine in Qatar because they have learned a lot from the past.
The GFA was at the national mosque and Holy Trinity Anglican Church to seek The Lord’s favor and grace to shine at the World Cup.
C. K. Akunnor, Laryea Kingston, Tony Baffoe, Anthony Annan, and others who played for the Black Stars feel the team is good enough to rob shoulders with the best football nations and reach the semi-finals.
Ghana will face Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay at the preliminary group stage of Qatar 2022.
