The Youth and Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif has made an audacious claim that Ghana will win the 2022 FIFA World Cup that will take place in Qatar in November.

Ghana will be making its fourth appearance at the World Cup in Qatar after first making an appearance in 2006 in Germany then in South Africa in 2010 and then in Brazil in 2014.

They then failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Russia in 2018 but managed to overcome Nigeria in a two legged playoffs via the away goal rule to reach Qatar.

Ghana's best ever performance at the World Cup was in 2010 in South Africa where they reached the quarterfinal stage before losing to Uruguay on penalties but Sports Minister believes Ghana will win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

“As football powerhouse in Africa, I know the Black Stars will bring the World Cup trophy back to Ghana by winning it Qatar," he said at the World Cup trophy tour in Accra.

Ghana, who are in Group H will open their campaign against Portugal on November 24 at Stadium 974 in Doha.

Four days later, the Black Stars return to action with a clash with South Korea at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan.

Ghana will wrap up its group stage adventure with its much-anticipated encounter with Uruguay at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah.

The World Cup is scheduled to kick off from November 20 to December 18.
