It’s been a difficult run for Ghana of late, capped off by a worst-ever showing at the Africa Cup of Nations in January and a change in managers soon after (see our Sling guide). Nonetheless, the squad ultimately rallied to pull off the narrowest of victories over rival Nigeria, punching their tickets to the big show in Qatar.

The Ghana National Team is scheduled to play November 24th and 28th and December 2nd. If the Black Stars make it to the knockout phase, we will have the details here.
Team Ghana Background
Ghana will start the 2022 World Cup in a group featuring Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay. They will likely be underdogs in all three games that they play, which makes it unlikely that the country will advance past the group phase of the tournament.
However, simply making it to the finals was an improvement over their efforts in 2018 when they failed to advance past the African regional qualifiers. Ghana qualified for the 2022 event by besting Nigeria in a pair of games during the third round of Confederation of African Football (CAF) qualifying. Although the two teams scored the same number of goals during the two games, Ghana won a tiebreaker because they scored their goal while playing in Nigeria’s stadium.
Despite their checkered World Cup history, Ghana is considered to be one of the better teams in Africa. In 2006, Ghana was the only African nation to go through to the knockout phase. In 2010, the country recorded its best ever finish at the event when it reached the quarterfinal round. Ghana plays its first game of the 2022 tournament on Nov. 24 against Portugal.
Team Ghana Squad
Despite falling well outside the top 50 in the FIFA World Rankings, the Black Stars come into the 2022 World Cup with a squad boasting no shortage of high-level individual talent.
In Qatar, the responsibility of fitting all the pieces together will fall on new coach Otto Addo. The former Ghana and Borussia Dortmund midfielder has been hard at work shuffling through tactics and lineups, making his club a compelling matchup if everything can fall into place.
