2022 World Cup: President Akufo-Addo hopes to watch Ghana's first match against Portugal
Ghana President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo is hoping to watch the Black Stars opening match at the 2022 World Cup against Portugal in Qatar.
The biggest soccer mundial has been scheduled for November and December this year with 32 countries set to battle it out for the covetous trophy in the Asian country.
The Black Stars are returning to the global showpiece after missing out in Russia 2018, where France emerged as winners.
Ghana will open their World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 before taking Uruguay and South Korea respectively.
Addressing the Ghana FA delegation led by Kurt Okraku at the office of the Presidency, Nana Akufo-Addo reiterated his desire to watch the Black Stars opening game against the European powerhouse.
“I’m hoping that, my program will allow me to watch the first match against Portugal, this is Ronaldo’s Portugal. All the way I am wishing you the best of luck, I know there is a lot of responsibility on your shoulder”
“We are all solidly behind you without reservation, we support your decisions and make sure that those decisions work for our country” he said.
