Former Ghana midfielder Laryea Kingston has asked the Ghana Football Association to put in place proper measures in order to equip the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament.

Ghana are making their 4th appearance at the World Cup after participating in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 editions.

The four-time African Champions has been paired in Group H against European giants, Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.

They will open their account against Portugal on November 24 before taking on South Korea in the second group game on November 28 and Uruguay in the last round four days later.

In an interview with Kwesi Sarpong Sarkodie of Bryt FM in Koforidua, the former Hearts of Oak star said, “Black Stars must start preparations early; I think the technical team did marvelously well in the play-off. Though, they are not close but I believe they’ve been having series of meetings, so I will urge them to continue the hard work they exhibited in the games against Nigeria”

“They should start preparing for the tournament now. Football is played on the pitch but there are things that goes on back stage in terms of planning, training and approach to games. So the technical and management of the Black Stars must start planning now”

“I don’t think the technical team knows the players well, so this is the time for them to invite the players together, play some games and I think they can do something” he added.
