Captain of the Black Stars Andre Ayew says that the players of the team are keen to write their names in the annals of history at the Mundial.

Ghana secured a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in March after beating Nigeria and says that they are yearning to make a name for themselves.

It will be Ghana's fourth appearance at the World Cup after missing out on the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Andre Ayew will be making his third World Cup appearance in Qatar after playing in South Africa in 2010 and Brazil in 2014.

Ghana in 2010 reached the quarter-finals and was a whisker away from reaching the final four but exited the Mundial in 2014 in Brazil at the group stage.

The Black Stars captain says all players at the Black Stars are determined to make history at the Mundial.

“My boys are very hungry and can’t wait to be there,” he told Graphic Sports.

“It’s hard to say much today because the tournament is about two and a half months away and the squad is not yet out. A lot of things can happen between now and then because you can have injuries and all that, so you can’t really predict. But for a majority of the boys who have been in the last two camps, they want to be at the World Cup, everybody wants to be in the squad and everybody wants to write their names in the history books of the FIFA World Cup.”

Ayew also added that he is optimistic in Ghana’s squad and believes the friendlies against ahead will be a good preparation.

“It’s very good and I have very good feeling about the squad and everything around the team. We have some friendly games coming up (against Brazil, Nicaragua and Switzerland) and we’ll see how we’re going to perform against them.”
