Published on: 14 October 2022

Former Black Stars first-choice goalkeeper, Fatau Dauda believes Jojo Wollacott will be Ghana's first-choice goalie ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

The Charlton Athletic shot stopper since making his debut for the country has kept the post.

Wollacott was hailed for his heroics against Nigeria during the World Cup playoffs.

With less than two months to the start of the Mundial in Qatar, the former Legon Cities and Ahgold goalie says Wollacott will be the country's first choice ahead of Richard Ofori.

“We all know that when Richard Ofori was injured, Wollacott came in and we did well against Nigeria home and away," he told 3Sports.

"I think if the tournament starts now, I know he [Wollacott] is our number 1," he added.

Ghana, who have been housed in Group H will open their campaign against Portugal on November 24 at Stadium 974 in Doha.

Four days later, the Black Stars return to action with a clash with South Korea at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.

Ghana will wrap up their group stage adventure with their much-anticipated encounter with Uruguay at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah.

The 2022 global showpiece will kick off from November 20 to December 18.
