Former President of Ghana, His Excellency John Agyekum Kufuor has charged the Black Stars to stop being selfish and play as a team ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Black Stars are paired in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.

Ghana will begin the campaign against Portugal on Thursday, November 24 before taking on South Korea and Uruguay in the other Group matches.

"I support the Black Stars and I give the team all the blessings. I can pray for the team to win and perform to the honour of our nation," Kufuor said.

"I believe the boys can do it, they have exposure internationally and so stage fright should not be part of this tournament. What is left is for our side to play as a team’’

"A lot of times we tend to be selfish with our play so how we get the team to think together on the pitch, how we pass towards goal and to have the strength," he added.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup takes place between November 20 and December 18
