Former communications director for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Ibrahim Sannie Daara has suggested that Richard Ofori, not Jojo Wollacott, should be the Black Stars’ first-choice goalkeeper going into the 2022 World Cup.
The Orlando Pirates goalie has lost his position to Wollacott for the past months.
With less than two weeks to the start of the Mundial in Qatar, Sannie Daara speaking in an interview said Wollacott is a good goalkeeper but Ofori’s experience cannot be overlooked, adding that the former Wa All Stars goalkeeper must be the first choice.
“We have a very good team but my only challenge is with the goalkeeping department,” he told Asempa FM.
“Wollacott has been impressive so far but I think Richard Ofori comes with experience that will help the team.
“In 2010, Richard Kingson’s helped the team to go far and the same must happen going to Qatar,” he added.
Both Ofori and Wollacott have been named in the Black Stars provisional squad for the tournament with the final 26-man squad expected to be named on November 14.
Ghana will officially open camp on November 10 in Abu Dhabi. The Black Stars will take on Switzerland on November 17.
The West African country has been housed in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay.
