Ghana FIFA World Cup 2022 matches: Full schedule and know the Black Stars squad
The Ghana football team play their first match in Qatar on Thursday, November 24 vs Portugal. Know the schedule of their matches at the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Ghana, making their first appearance at the FIFA World Cup since 2014, has experienced a topsy-turvy build-up to Qatar 2022 after an early 2021 Africa Cup of Nations exit.
Knocked out in AFCON group stages for the first time since 2006, Ghana bowed out of the tournament with one of their worst displays in the African showpiece.
The habitual underdogs with a penchant for punching above their weight will again face an uphill battle at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar going up against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Group H.
Otto Addo guided the team to their fourth FIFA World Cup becoming the first man to coach and play for Ghana at the global showpiece.
The Black Stars booked their place in Qatar via the away goals rule after their qualification playoff matches against Nigeria ended in a goalless draw at home and a 1-1 stalemate in Abuja.

Ghana will go into battle with seasoned campaigner and captain André Ayew leading the charge in Qatar.
Ayew, the son of Ghanaian legend Abedi Pele, is on the cusp of becoming the most capped Black Stars player. He recently equalled the record of 109 appearances held by former captain Asamoah Gyan.
The 32-year-old Ayew has been a mainstay of the Ghanaian team since making his World Cup debut in South Africa in 2010. He was named the second-best young player in that tournament and also made an impact for Ghana four years later in Brazil in 2014.
His brother, Jordan Ayew and Leicester City's Daniel Amartey are expected to add more experience at the showpiece.
The battle-hardened trio is complemented by rising stars Mohammed Kudus and Issahaku Fatawu, who have already made their mark on the international stage for Ghana.
The 22-year-old Kudus already has nearly 20 international caps, while the 18-year-old Fatawu has represented Ghana more than a dozen times.
