World Cup 2022: Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana rated faster player at the tournament

Published on: 07 December 2022

Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana has emerged as the fastest player at the ongoing 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The 22-year-old despite his limited time at the mundial announced his presence at the World Cup with his dazzling runs.

The Black Stars were eliminated after the first round of the tournament following a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay.

After defeating South Korea in their second group game, the Black Stars needed a draw or win against Uruguay to advance to the last 16 stage.

But the team failed to negotiate for points against their ‘enemies’ Uruguay.

Ghana made a strong start to the game, but fell apart after captain Andre Ayew missed a penalty in the 21st minute, a repeat of what happened in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

In the game against Uruguay, the Stade Rennes star came on as a second half substitute and made his presence felt, clocking a time of 35.7 kmph, which is the highest at the tournament so far.

The winger is being trailed by Nico Williams of Spain and Alphonso Davies of USA, who recorded 35.6 kmph in their last group games.
