World Cup 2022: We can beat any opponent but it’s up to the players – Ghana coach Otto Addo insists

Published on: 16 November 2022

Ghana head coach Otto Addo is confident about the chances of the Black Stars succeeding at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

After four years of waiting, the World is set to gather in Qatar later this month for the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, Coach Otto Addo says his Black Stars have the potential to beat every opponent.

“We can beat anyone. It's up to the players, not me. It’s their performances that have brought them this far. They have the quality, with or without me,” the Ghana head coach said as quoted on the website of FIFA.

Coach Otto Addo added, “I’m responsible for putting them in the right positions so that they can produce their best performances, with and without the ball. They have to be able to play together.”

Ghana at the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be one of five African countries representing the continent.

The Black Stars will compete in Group H of the group stages of the tournament. In that group, Ghana will battle it out with two-time champions Uruguay, as well as European giants Portugal.

The other group opponent is South Korea from Asia.

While the 2022 FIFA World Cup will commence on Sunday, November 20, Ghana’s Black Stars will play their first match on November 24.

Subsequently, Ghana will take on South Korea on November 28 before finishing the group stages campaign with a rematch against Uruguay.
