Ghana coach Otto Addo has urged his players to be brave when they face Portugal at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Black Stars who are returning to the global showpiece after missing out in Russia 2018 has been housed in Group H against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.
Ghana will open their account against the European giants today, November 24 before they face South Korea and Uruguay respectively.
Despite being ranked the lowest team at the tournament, the Germany-based gaffer says Ghana has got quality players to compete with the 2016 European champions.
“I feel very honoured to be part of this team as a player but now as a coach. It’s a privilege and great honour for me to serve Ghana on the pitch and outside the pitch”
“I think we have the quality to compete Portugal and surely we have to be very brave. To go into this game, we have to be self-confident but our players are ready”
The Black Stars having missed out in the last edition hosted in Russia in 2018 will be hoping to improve their performance in Qatar after exiting the group phase during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Only three sides from the continent have ever progressed to the quarter-finals; Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002, and Ghana in 2010.
Ghana will be hoping to progress from the group stage at this year's tournament.
