Antony Baffoe tips Black Stars to go past group stage at World Cup

Published on: 19 October 2022

Former Ghana international Antony Baffoe has charged the Black Stars to progressed past the group stages of the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Ghana will face Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea in Group H of the global showpiece which takes place between November 21 and December 18, 2022.

Black Stars, who make a return to the tournament after missing out on the 2018 edition in Russia take on Portugal in their first game in Group H before facing South Korea and Uruguay in a repeat of the 2010 World Cup quarter-final.

"Black Stars have a good technical team, a talented squad, and the additional players from Ghana who were born abroad," Antony Baffoe said as quoted by the-star.co.ke.

"We need to get our tactics right and I always believe we need a team behind the team. The federation has given the technical bench a free hand.

"They have done a lot of additions when it comes to fitness coaches and it goes even deep into science but by the end of the day the reality is on the pitch."

He added, "I believe if we get our act together, have unity and good organization we can do something. It’s not an easy group but by God’s grace, we’ll do everything to get to the next stage. Let’s get out of the group stage then we can talk again."

Ghana will take on Switzerland in another preparatory game on November 17, seven days before their opening game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup against Portugal.
