After being excluded from the Russian World Cup, Ghana will want to dominate the 2022 tournament. Otto Addo, the new coach, took charge of the national team’s qualifying run. He led the team to victory when they held Nigeria to a 1-1 draw in the last round to earn their spot in the Qatar world cup.
They had previously participated in the competition’s 2006, 2010, and 2014 seasons. Ghana’s highest World Cup result to date was a quarterfinal showing in the 2010 world cup when Uruguay lost him with a bitter penalty shootout.
At the group stage in 2014, Portugal and Ghana played each another. Unfortunately, Ghana could not move to the round of 16, as Portugal won the final group game 2-1. This time, Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea are their opponents in Group G, and they will hope they have a chance to go to the elimination rounds.
Here, we have discussed those players who will play in the world cup 2022. Let’s check which players are:

Predict XI
A four-person defense consisting of Lamptey, Djiku, Amartey, and Rahman Baba might defend Wollacott.
Thomas Partey will probably cover the defense as Andre Ayew and Kudus play more attacking center mids. Williams will play top, with Sulemana & Jordan Ayew on the wings.
Wollacott; Lamptey, Djiku, Amartey, Rahman Baba; Partey; Sulemana, A. Ayew, Kudus, J. Ayew; Williams make up Ghana’s starting lineup (4-1-4-1).
