It will be sweet revenge if we score them - Former President Mahama on Ghana beating Uruguay

Published on: 26 October 2022

Former President, John Dramani Mahama believes it will be a sweet revenge if Ghana beat Uruguay after the two countries were paired in the Group H of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Black Stars were eliminated by the two-time champions on penalties in South Africa, having seen Asamoah Gyan miss an extra-time spot-kick after Luis Suarez was sent off for handball.

Ghana, 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 on November 24 before playing South Korea and Uruguay on November 28 and December 2 respectively.

"Unfortunately, we are in a Group of death. The teams in our Group are the strongest and look at what faith has made, bringing Uruguay into our Group again," former President Mahama said as quoted by ghanafa.org.

"It will be sweet revenge if we score them and so even if you don’t beat anybody, just beat Uruguay for me and lets pay Suarez back for what he did to us."

Black Stars will play Switzerland in an International friendly on November 17, before travelling to Qatar for the World Cup.
