The Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif, believes the Black stars has what it takes to oust their West African rivals, Nigeria for a place at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

The Black stars will lock horns with the Super Eagles in a crucial two leg FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 play offs clash.

Ghana underperformed at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations following an early exit from the Tournament. Due to this, the senior national team would be aiming to appease their fans by earning a fourth World Cup appearance and claim bragging rights at the expense of Nigeria.

“On the 25th, the players are not only playing for themselves, but they are also playing for the 30 million Ghanaians. Everybody will be watching them. Whatever happens on the pitch will have an impact on every home in Ghana that day. I have no doubt, I have total confidence in the team to deliver that day.” Ussif said.

The Senior National team have qualified for three FIFA World Cup tournaments; 2006, 2010, and 2014.

Whereas, the Super Eagles of Nigeria will be hoping to qualify for the global football showpiece for the seventh time and, since 1994, have missed only one of seven editions.

The Winner of the two legs will progress to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament.
