Ghana has been to the World Cup on three occasions and managed to get out of the group stages twice by reaching the round of 16 in Germany in 2006 but was eliminated by Brazil and bettered their performance in the next world cup when they reached quarter final in South Africa only to succumb to Uruguay on penalties and exited in the group stages in Brazil in 2014.
Ghana failed to qualify for the 2018 edition in Russia and the head coach is determined to take the country’s football at the international stage back to the apex of FIFA’s competitions.
