Published on: 20 November 2022

Ghana coach Otto Addo is confident about the Black Stars team ahead of the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup today, November 20, 2022.

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 campaign with a clash against former European champions Portugal before taking on South Korea and Uruguay in subsequent games.

Speaking to FIFA, the Germany-based trainer expressed the Black Stars has got quality to compete at the global showpiece.

“We have a lot of quality. I see that in training and in our matches too. It was an especially tough game against Nigeria, but we competed with them even though we’d made a lot of changes."

“We’ve got a great deal of quality up front, our individual class. We can do damage one-on-one and with our speed.” He said.

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.
