This winter, Ghana will make their fourth appearance at the FIFA World Cup. They beat Nigeria on away goals to get to Qatar. The Black Stars are the lowest-ranked team in the world, placed #61 in FIFA's world rankings. Ghana is playing in their first World cup since 2014. It's their eighth appearance in international football since their 2010 World Championship. They are playing against Nigeria and Argentina in Group H. Their 2010 triumph was marred by Luis Suárez's handball.

There have been structural changes in Ghana's footballing structure. Milovan Rajevac, Chris Hughton and Otto Addo have come in. They have helped Ghana to improve their game and reach the World Cup. The federation has also attracted dual-national players to represent their countries.  Callum Hudson-Odoi and Eddie Nketiah are among them. Ghana qualified for the tournament. It is hoped that they will play at the next World cup. For the federation, it is important to attract players of good quality. Iñaki Williams and Tariq Lamptey have switched their minds from representing Spain and England to play for Ghana.

Ghana are the lowest-ranked team out of all 32 teams at the World Cup. They are playing in Group H against Portugal and Uruguay. The team is optimistic about their chances in Qatar. They finished bottom of their group in 2014 with 1 point. Carl Anka from The Athletic believes the game against Uruguay will be more than a group game. He believes it will have more of a sporting significance than the other games.
