Ghana World Cup 2022: Players, fixtures, group

Ghana is back in the World Cup after failing to qualify for the 2018 tournament. However, the Black Stars aren’t expected to do much in Qatar. No team in the 2022 World Cup is lower in FIFA’s world ranking than Ghana, who comes in at No. 61 and is also the youngest team in the tournament.

Can veterans Thomas Partey and André Ayew lead the Black Stars on a historic run, or will their time in Qatar be over before they know it? If Ghana fully intends on escaping Group H and taking down Portugal in the process, the Black Stars will need dominant performances from newcomers Tariq Lamptey and Iñaki Williams in the coming weeks.

Star players on the Ghana World Cup team

Brothers Andre and Jordan Ayew headline the 2022 Ghana World Cup team. Black Stars fans should also expect significant contributions from midfielder Thomas Partey and defender Daniel Amartey in Qatar.

Who is Ghana’s head coach?

Otto Addo will coach Ghana’s men’s soccer team in the 2022 World Cup. His presence is fitting, given his place as Ghana’s starting right winger at the 2006 World Cup. Addo is in his first year managing the Black Stars.

Ghana World Cup fixtures and match schedule

Portugal vs. Ghana

Unfortunately for Ghana fans, the Black Stars open the 2022 World Cup against a Portugal team favored to win Group H.

South Korea vs. Ghana

We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on how Ghana responds following their World Cup opener against Portugal. Ghana’s November 28 showdown with South Korea might mark the Black Stars’ best chance of an outright victory in Qatar—and all it takes is one win to get some spark going in such a high-stakes setting.

Ghana vs. Uruguay

Back in 2010, Uruguay outlasted Ghana in a controversial World Cup quarterfinals match. Over a decade later, the two sides meet again to close the opening round for Group H. Can the Black Stars exact some revenge, or will history repeat in Qatar?

Ghana national team strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

Although Ghana isn’t highly-ranked, don’t take that to mean the Black Stars lack talent. The Ayew brothers are battle-tested veteran leaders eager to help the Black Stars shock the world. We’re especially intrigued to see Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, the 18-year-old winger who passed up signing with Liverpool to ink a deal with Sporting Lisbon. If Ghana starts winning matches and setting itself up for a run at history, don’t be surprised if the conversations frequently feature Issahaku’s name.

Weaknesses

A quick glance at Ghana’s World Cup roster shows many young players lacking experience, especially on the international front. An optimist might paint that as a potential positive, but we see it as something that could hurt the Black Stars in close games. If Ghana relies too heavily on its young players, the Black Stars shouldn’t expect to make it too far in Qatar. Ghana has struggled in international play throughout 2022, and expecting that trend to change in the World Cup, of all places, is a difficult request. Still, stranger things have happened, and Ghana has pulled off surprising finishes in the World Cup before.
