Ghana’s contingent has arrived in Johannesburg for Monday’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 second Group G qualifier against South Africa. The team was led by Management Committee Chairman George Amoako.

In all, Twenty-five players made the trip to the Rainbow country for encounter. England based quintet, Daniel Amartey (Leicester City), Jeffrey Schlupp (Leicester City), Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace), Andrew Yiadom (Reading FC) and Baba Abdul Rahman (Reading FC) were not part of the travelling party following the decision of Premier League clubs not to allow their players travel to COVID-19 red listed countries. Others who missed the trip are Rennes forward Kamal Deen Suleymana and Daniel Kyereh of German side St. Pauli – the duo have been recalled by their clubs.

Ghana recorded a slim win (1-0) against Ethiopia on Friday in their Group G opener at the Cape Coast stadium to move top of Group G after Zimbabwe held South Africa to a 0-0 draw in Harare.

The Black Stars last visit to Johannesburg in March this year, produced a draw against South Africa – a result that sealed Ghana’s qualification to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

Coach Charles Akonnor’s side would aim for the three points to keep their World Cup dreams unscathed.
