Kwasi Okyere Wriedt hopeful of making final 26-man squad for World Cup

Holstein Kiel striker, Kwasi Okyere Wriedt says he wants to be a part of Ghana’s final 26-man squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The German-born footballer was part of the team that defeated Nigeria in the final qualifying round to secure Ghana’s place in Qatar.

Wriedt has been named in Ghana’s 55-man provisional squad with the final squad set to be released on Monday, November 14.

The former Bayern Munich youngster is now hoping to be included in the final squad, which is expected to be released in the coming days.

“Yes, of course. So, I think it’s a childhood dream that’s coming true,” he told ndr.de.

“Well, that I was now personally in the playoffs, that I was able to be part of the fact that we qualified for the World Cup,” he said.

In 13 games this season, the 28-year-old has scored three goals and provided one assist in the German second-tier league.

Ghana’s World Cup campaign begins on November 24 against Portugal. They will also face South Korea and Uruguay in Group H.
