2022 World Cup: Opponents cannot underrate Ghana - FA boss Kurt Okraku
Ghana FA president Kurt Okraku says the Black Stars will not be underrated by any opponent at the 2022 World Cup.
Ghana eliminated Nigeria in the World Cup playoff on aggregate to qualify for the Mundial in March.
The team has been engaging in a series of friendly games as part of preparations ahead of the tournament.
Ghana lost 3-0 to five-time World Champions Brazil in an international friendly played in France last Friday.
According to Kurt Okraku, despite the Black Stars' defeat to Brazil, the countries to play Ghana in Group H will not underrate the four-time African champions.
"The group is not easy, there are very good teams, but Ghana is not an easy rival either," he told deia.eus.
Ghana will open their campaign against Portugal on November 24 at Stadium 974 in Doha.
Four days later, the Black Stars return to action with a clash with South Korea at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.
Ghana will wrap up their group stage adventure with their much-anticipated encounter with Uruguay at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah.
Gospel musician Sonnie Badu:
"Bring Asamoah Gyan back into the Black Stars if you can't score goals."
"Perhaps my opinion might cause a lot of problems. Nonetheless, someone must address it and so I will… WHAT IS ASAMOAH GYAN doing leading “Jama” with spectators - when he is Ghana’s record holder of goals. And even beats some of the top player like Henry on world cup goals .. Is he not allowed in the camp? Can he not be there to help the younger generations? I am quite close to some of the Nigeria Super Eagles players. When they are in the camp - you will see legends like: Kanu and JJ OKOCHA there with them. Why is Abedi Pele never around? Why is Yeboah never around? What about John Mensah and John Painstil? Is the reason political? Well, any institution that plays politics can never progress. All these young players in there use to play GYAN on FIFA. Get Gyan to help shape them. I apologize in advance if anyone is offended. Black stars are all we have and take pride in as a nation."
