Member of Parliament for Cape Coast South, Kweku George Ricketts-Hagan has noted that politics within the management of Ghana football is sometimes more than the politics in Parliament.
He however, said the Black Stars’ World Cup qualification should be used to resolve some of the bottlenecks to ensure that the team succeeds in Qatar during the tournament.
He said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday April 2 that “The politics in football is sometimes more than the politics in Parliament.”
Meanwhile, Ghana will face Uruguay in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, a repeat of the 2010 quarterfinals.
The Black Stars will also take on former European champions Portugal and South Korea in Group H.
After the agony of 2010, the Black Stars will seek revenge against the South Americans.
Asamoah Gyan missed the resulting penalty after Luis Suarez denied Ghana a winning goal in extra time by blocking Dominic Adiyiah’s goal-bound header with his hand. He was red-carded but Uruguay went on to defeat the Black Stars on penalties in a dramatic last-eight match in South Africa.
Ghana will face Portugal first in Qatar. Both sides met in 2014, with the Europeans winning 2-1 thanks to a winning goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ghana and South Korea have never met in a World Cup. However, they did play a friendly match before the 2014 World Cup. Jordan Ayew scored a hat-trick as Black Stars won 4-0.
