Black Stars Assistant Coach, George Boateng has reiterated that Ghanaians will be happy to watch the national team play in Qatar during the 2022 World Cup.
After securing qualification at the expense of Nigeria, the Black Stars were placed in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay.
After an impressive performance in South Africa in 2010, Ghana shockingly failed to win a single match during the 2014 Mundial in Brazil.
However, Boateng, who was part of the Black Stars technical team that managed the country’s qualification, is confident the team will work.

“The boys will be ready, they will fight, they will compete and there won’t be a single game where the boys will walk away and not play their hearts out.” READ ALSO:How to Make Money with Trending Topics Online in 2022
