Everything is in place for Black Stars to have a successful World Cup – Andre Ayew

Published on: 26 September 2022

Ghana captain Andre Ayew has opened up on the preparation of the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The West African powerhouse is returning to the global showpiece after missing out in Russia 2018.

Ghana has been paired in Group H against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea at the World Cup.

Ahead of the tournament in the Asian country, Andre Ayew, who plies his trade for Al Sadd has disclosed things are in place for the Black Stars to have a successful World Cup.

“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. 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” he told Al Jazeera.

The Black Stars are preparing for the World Cup and will face Nicaragua on Tuesday after last Friday's defeat to Brazil.
