2022 World Cup: Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif calls for support for Black Stars

Prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Mustapha Ussif, the minister of youth and sports, has passionately urged Ghanaians to support the Black Stars.

The West African nation will be participating in the World Cup for the fourth time after being unable to attend the most recent edition, which was held in Russia in 2018.

Ussif claimed that the team’s training was proceeding in accordance with a plan created by the government and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to guarantee the team’s best performance.

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Yagaba-Kubori Constituency in the North East Region also said Ghanaians needed to contribute financially via Mobile Money donation to cushion the team and motivate them to achieve success in Qatar.

Black Stars have been drawn in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay.

 

Ghana will take on Portugal in their first game on November 24 before playing South Korea and Uruguay on November 28 and December 2 respectively.

The team will open camp on November 10 in Abu Dhabi. Otto Addo, who is the head coach of the side will name his final 26-man squad on November 14.

Black Stars will play Switzerland in an international friendly on November 17, before traveling to Qatar for the World Cup on November 19.
