Portuguese coach Rui Gregorio has congratulated the Black Stars for qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Coach Otto Addo's side drew 1-1 against the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the Moshood Abiola Stadium on Tuesday to seal qualification on the away goals rule.
Captain Partey gave Ghana the lead against the run of play in the 10th minute before Watford defender William Trost-Ekong levelled from the penalty spot 12 minutes later after Ademola Lookman was judged to have been fouled in the box.
“One more thing, congratulations to Ghana for [qualifying to the] World Cup.
“Only five countries in Africa are there and we are one of the five in 54 countries.” Rui Gregorio told StarTimes.
The draw means Ghana have secured a historic 4th FIFA World Cup tournament having participated in 2006, 2010, and 2014 in Germany.
Ghana join Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco, and Cameroon for the global showpiece.
Otto Addo becomes the first Ghanaian player ever to feature at the World Cup and also qualify the team to the tournament.
Following the qualification, Otto Addo also becomes the second ingenious coach to take Ghana to the tournament after Kwesi Appiah in 2014.
The 46-year-old replaced Milovan Rajevac who was sacked after a humiliating exit at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Meanwhile, England are considering playing Ghana in an international friendly ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
