The Black Stars of Ghana booked their place for the World Cup in Qatar on Tuesday evening after a 1-1 draw with the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

The first leg of the encounter ended 0-0 last week Friday in packed Baba Yara Stadium.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria were the favourites to go through but the Black Stars of Ghana secured their ticket on away goals.

FIFA will provide the Black Stars with $2 million for training ahead of the global tournament, as well as an additional $10 million as a participation fee in the group stage.

The Black Stars have qualified for three FIFA World Cup tournaments; 2006, 2010, and 2014.

In 2006, Ghana was the only African side to advance to the second round of the World Cup in Germany, and was the sixth nation in a row from Africa to progress beyond the group stages of the World Cup.

In the 2010 World Cup, Ghana progressed beyond the group stages of the World Cup in South Africa, and reached the quarter-finals where they were eliminated by Uruguay.

Ghana was drawn in Group G with Germany, the United States, and Portugal in 2014

The Black Stars of Ghana missed the 2018 edition but are back among the best after the doubleheader against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
