Ghana's captain, Andre Ayew, hopes the Black Stars will have a successful tournament in Qatar later this year when the FIFA World Cup begins.

Ghana is currently playing friendly games ahead of the Mundial. Last Friday Brazil beat Ghana 3-0 in the first international friendly game.

Three players made their debut against Brazil namely Iñaki Williams, Tariq Lamptey and Mohammed Salisu.

Ghana is set to take on Nicaragua on Tuesday then end with a game against Switzerland.

“Everything is in place for us to have a successful World Cup. We must have the best preparation possible but, most importantly, all of your players must be fit at that time,” he told Al Jazeera.

“We played Brazil, we’ll play Nicaragua and Switzerland before the World Cup. They are all big games that will be tough even though they are friendlies,"

“These matches are beneficial because we put ourselves to the test and come back as a team to maintain bonding and unity. Normally, we have two to three weeks before the World Cup, but this time we only have about nine days. It’s not ideal but we have to adapt,”
