Black Stars interim coach Otto Addo had insisted Ghana’s 2022 World Cup group is a difficult one.

The Black Stars were drawn in Group H alongside European giants Portugal, former champions Uruguay and South Korea.

Otto Addo, who guided the Black Stars to qualify at the expense of Nigeria in an interview with Accra-based Asempa FM indicated the draw is a difficult one for Ghana.

“I think it’s difficult considering the teams in our group but in football everything is possible. This is I think interesting, this level of World Cup, every team is capable to beat every team, so everything is possible”

The Black Stars will tackle Portugal in the opening game of the Group before facing Asian giants South Korea in the next group game.

The African powerhouse will wrap up their group campaign with a clash against the first ever winners of the Mundial in 1930, Uruguay.

Ghana, the four-time African champions will be making their fourth appearance at the Mundial after participating in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 editions.

The West African giants returned to the World Cup on Tuesday after eliminating regional rivals Nigeria, advancing on away goal advantage.

Due to Qatar’s intense summer heat, this World Cup will be held from late-November to mid-December, making it the first tournament not to be held in May, June, or July; it is to be played in a reduced timeframe of around 28 days.

It is scheduled to take place in Qatar from 21 November to 18 December 2022 across five cities.
